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.
Translating your store is the expensive part. Keeping it translated is where money leaks. Translation Health checks every product, collection, page, article and blog, in every language you publish. It finds untranslated text, translations that went stale after you edited the original, hreflang problems, and localized links that quietly return 404. Scans run on your schedule.

- Finds missing and outdated translations across every published language
- Detects localized URLs that return 404 and fixes them with your approval
