SaaS website translated into Chinese on shopify

Step by step approach

1. Define Your Translation Strategy (Pre-Planning)

Set clear goals before you begin:

  • Outline which sections require translation: product pages, blog articles, UI strings, support documentation.
  • Determine who’ll manage and approve translations.
  • Decide on translation quality levels for each segment.

According to localization experts, a successful workflow involves three phases: planning, translation (manual, automated, or hybrid), and continuous optimization multilipi.com 

2. Choose the Best Translation Method

Pick based on your Saas needs, Shopify constraints, and budget:

  • Machine Translation (MT): Fast and scalable but needs review.
  • Human Translation: Best for marketing content, costly and time-consuming.
  • Hybrid: MT followed by human editing—offers speed and quality

3. Export Content & Set Up Templates

Use your Shopify CMS to extract all textual and metadata:

  • Headlines, descriptions, page-specific content
  • CTA copy, product details, image alt-text
  • Structured templates with placeholders for Saas, Shopify, Chinese variables

4. Use MultiLipi for Translation & SEO

  • Ensure brand terms stay consistent with your Saas glossary
  • Review SEO elements (titles, descriptions, alt-text)

This maintains quality and consistency across your translated site.

6. Implement Technical SEO Best Practices
