Summary

Shopify Markets AI Translation Automation (Fixed-Price Project) Project Overview I run a growing Shopify store with approximately 160 products and a large amount of SEO content. Product pages typically contain between 500–1,000 words, and I publish long-form SEO blog articles on a regular basis (often 5,000+ words per article). I am currently using a Shopify translation app but have run into recurring issues with word limits, translation quality, synchronization problems, and automation limitations. I am looking for an experienced Shopify developer to build a fully automated translation workflow that eliminates the need for third-party translation apps. Please only apply if you have previously worked with Shopify Markets and automated multilingual Shopify stores. Generic Shopify developers without translation workflow experience will not be considered. Goal: Build a reliable, scalable solution that automatically translates all Shopify content and stores translations directly within Shopify Markets. The system must continue working automatically for all future content without requiring manual exports, imports, or translation requests. Languages" Primary store language: English Translations required for: Dutch German French Spanish Italian Swedish Danish Nice to have (optional): Portuguese Polish Russian Functional Requirements The solution must automatically translate: Products Collections Pages Blog articles SEO titles SEO meta descriptions Product descriptions Collection descriptions Page content Blog content Automation Requirements When I: Create a new product Update an existing product Create a new collection Update a collection Create a new page Update a page Publish a new blog article Update an existing blog article the system should automatically: Detect the change Translate the content into all configured languages Store translations directly in Shopify Markets Make the translations available without any manual intervention I do not want to manually trigger translations, export/import files, or manage translations through a separate app. Translation Quality: Translation quality is extremely important. The system should: Preserve formatting and HTML Preserve internal links Preserve product names when appropriate Preserve SEO structure Maintain a natural marketing tone of voice Support high-quality AI translation (OpenAI, DeepL, or a comparable solution) I am open to recommendations regarding the translation engine, provided quality remains high. Technical Requirements: Preferred experience: Shopify Markets Shopify GraphQL API Shopify Translation API Shopify Webhooks OpenAI API DeepL API n8n or similar automation platforms I am open to the best technical approach as long as the result is reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain. Deliverables: Please include in your proposal: Your proposed architecture Which translation engine(s) you recommend and why Whether translations are stored directly in Shopify How updates to existing content are handled Estimated monthly operating costs after launch Examples of similar Shopify projects you have completed A fixed all-inclusive project price for delivery Important I am not looking for another translation app recommendation. I am looking for a custom automated translation workflow that will continue to work as my catalog and content library grow over time.
