Get Started with Beta Language and how it works
Ready to take your store global? Our exciting Beta Languages feature breaks through Shopify's language barriers, giving you access to 148 languages instead of just 20. This means you can now connect with customers worldwide in their native languages, making your store truly accessible to global shoppers.

IV. What Happens When You Change Plans
I. What Are Beta Languages?
Beta Languages is our innovative solution that expands your translation capabilities far beyond Shopify's standard limits. While Shopify typically allows only 20 editable languages, our beta program unlocks 148 languages total:
- 20 standard editable languages (from Shopify)
- 128 additional non-editable languages (powered by Transcy)
This breakthrough feature helps you reach customers in markets you never thought possible, from major global languages to niche regional dialects.
Why This Matters for Your Business
When customers can shop in their native language, they're more likely to:
- Stay longer on your site
- Complete their purchases
- Return for future shopping
- Recommend your store to others
II. How Beta Languages Work
Our Beta Languages feature seamlessly integrates with your existing Transcy setup:
➜ Access 128 additional languages beyond Shopify's 20-language limit
➜ Manage translations for previously non-editable languages
➜ Enable multiple regional variants of the same language
➜ Expand to new markets without technical complications
III. Current Limitations
Since this is a beta feature, some advanced tools aren't available yet for the 128 additional languages:
Translation Tools Not Available:
- AI translation services (OpenAI, DeepL, DeepSeek, Grok, Gemini, Baidu)
- Automated translation features
- Glossary functionality
- Checkout page translations
Don't worry - these limitations only apply to the additional 128 languages. Your standard 20 Shopify languages still have full access to all Transcy features!
IV. What Happens When You Change Plans
If You Downgrade Your Plan
When you switch from Premium or Enterprise to Growth, Basic, or Free plans:
➜ Beta language access stops - The 128 additional languages become unavailable
➜ Standard languages remain - Your original 20 Shopify languages keep working
➜ No data loss - Your translations are safely stored
If You Upgrade Again Later
➜ Re-join the beta program to regain access
➜ Your previous translations return - Nothing gets lost permanently
➜ Full functionality restored for all enabled languages
Think of it as putting your expanded language capabilities on pause rather than losing them forever.
Ready to go global? The Beta Languages feature opens doors to markets you never imagined reaching. Start connecting with customers worldwide in their preferred languages and watch your business grow beyond borders.
