Category Translate

With the Translate Categories tool, you can effortlessly internationalize the structure of your online store. This AI tool not only translates the names of your categories but also optimizes the associated metadata and descriptions for maximum SEO impact in every language.

Navigate in the dashboard to Translate > Translate Categories. You will see an overview of the complete category structure of your webshop.

Translating a specific category​

  1. Select category: Find the category you want to translate and click the 'Translate' button.
  2. Set languages: In the pop-up, select the source language (From) and the target language (To).
  3. Check information: The tool automatically retrieves the following fields:
  • Title: The internal name of the category.
  • Full title: The title displayed on the website.
  • Meta Tags: SEO title, description, and keywords.
  • Content: The textual description located at the top or bottom of the category page.
  1. Choose or write a prompt: Use your own instruction or choose one of the 'Quick prompts':
  • Literal Translation: For a word-for-word translation.
  • Persuasive Translation: To make the category text more compelling for the new target audience.
  • Formal Tone: For a professional business approach.
  • Natural Phrasing: To ensure the translation aligns with local language usage.
  1. Generate content: Click the button to let the AI create the translation. You can review the result before saving it permanently.

Translating in batches​

For webshops with a deep folder structure or hundreds of (sub)categories, there is the Batch Translate function.

Please note: Translating in batches is only available from the Growth subscription onwards.

  • Efficiency: Translate your entire categorization list in one single action.
  • Preserve structure: The AI understands the hierarchy (main categories vs. subcategories) and ensures that translations are consistent across the entire tree structure.
  • Control: Just like with individual translations, you can first perform a test on a single category to verify the quality of the chosen prompt.

Tip: Translating categories is essential for your SEO strategy. By also translating the Meta Tags directly, you become more discoverable for local search terms in search engines like Google.
