Is the translation SEO/search engine (Google, Bing, etc) friendly?

Yes! When you add a new language to your store, Shopify automatically generates a language-aware URL. For example, if you add a French translation, the URL will become shop.com/fr . These language-specific URLs help search engines identify and rank your site in different languages, improving your store’s visibility to a global audience.

In addition to language-aware URLs, Shopify automatically adds "hreflang" HTML meta tags to each page of your store. These tags inform search engines about the available languages for each page, helping avoid duplicate content issues. This ensures that translated storefronts are indexed correctly and appear in relevant search results, increasing discoverability for users in other languages.

For further SEO optimization, you can edit the meta titles and meta descriptions for each language. These fields allow you to create language-specific metadata that attracts users and boosts your site’s click-through rate.

The app provides a user-friendly interface to manage and translate these SEO-related elements effectively, ensuring consistency and optimization across all languages.

The Hextom: Translate & Currency App is compatible with all major SEO apps, helping you improve your store's search engine visibility with ease.

Note

Sitemaps are generated only in your shop's primary language.
