- Unblock the specific SEO elements to translate
II. How to Translate Homepage SEO Content
Your homepage title and meta description automatically sync from Shopify settings to Transcy's Preference resource.

The homepage title and meta description are automatically synced from your Shopify settings and appear in the Preference resource.

III. How to Translate Product Page SEO Content
Product SEO elements only appear in Transcy after you create custom content in Shopify.
1. Set Up Custom SEO Content in Shopify
For each product you want to translate:
- Go to Shopify Admin → Products → Select your product

- Create unique content:
