See every featureLaunching a new market? Localization Guard runs a read-only scan across your products and enabled languages, and reports what isn't ready: missing title translations, untranslated URLs hurting local SEO, untranslated metafields, and protected terms altered in translation. Each scan gives a readiness score per language and a prioritized issue list linked to Translate & Adapt, plus a CSV export for your translator.
Senda Translate detects when a product is created or updated and translates the content instantly. Once the translation is ready, it's updated on Shopify's backend in order to speed up loading times for your users.
