### Migrate and Enable Manual Editing
• You have to upgrade to a higher plan to fully synchronize these languages from Shopify to Transcy. Because higher plans allow you to have more languages (Editable language) to edit translations
• **Requirement:** Upgrade to a higher plan for more editable languages
For example: **You have more than 6 languages** and your **Regional plan only support 2 editable languages. You need to upgrade to Continental**, which **support 10 editable languages.** And the issue resolved easily

### Migrate and Disable Manual Editing
• You need to disable "**Editable languages**" and select which languages you want to keep editable based on your current plan. Our system will then synchronize with your Shopify store
• **Requirement**: you may need to remove languages directly from Shopify markets, to remove a language in Shopify, follow these steps:
1. Go to your **Shopify Admin** → **Settings → Languages**
