Blaze Country Redirect and Translate Language Auto • EA both aim to improve the international customer experience on Shopify stores, but they take fundamentally different approaches. Blaze Country Redirect focuses on geolocation-based redirection to specific Shopify Markets or expansion stores. This is achieved by detecting the visitor's location and automatically redirecting them to the appropriate store domain, or prompting them with a customizable popup. This is ideal for merchants with multiple Shopify Markets set up for different regions, ensuring customers land on the right localized version of the store. Translate Language Auto • EA, on the other hand, leverages Google Translate to provide real-time translation of the entire store, including other app content, into over 240 languages. This approach is beneficial for merchants who want to offer a multilingual experience without creating separate store instances or managing manual translations. The primary difference lies in their core functionality. Blaze Country Redirect focuses on routing customers to the correct store, handling currency and market specifics, while Translate Language Auto • EA focuses on translating the existing store into the customer's preferred language. The former requires some initial setup and configuration with Shopify Markets, while the latter is designed for instant setup and ease of use. Blaze Country Redirect promises support for full setup and customization through its team, while Translate Language Auto • EA relies on the capabilities of Google Translate, offering limited customization options beyond enabling the app and offering a language selector.

Choosing between Blaze Country Redirect and Translate Language Auto • EA depends heavily on the merchant's specific needs and existing Shopify setup. If you have already established separate Shopify Markets for different regions and want to ensure customers are automatically directed to the correct store version with localized currency and language, Blaze Country Redirect is the better choice. Its geolocation-based redirection and Shopify Markets compatibility provide a more accurate and controlled localized experience.
However, if your primary goal is to quickly and easily offer multilingual support without the complexity of managing multiple Shopify Markets, Translate Language Auto • EA is the recommended option. Its instant setup and reliance on Google Translate provide a broad language coverage with minimal effort. While the translation quality may not be perfect, it provides a convenient and accessible solution for merchants seeking to expand their reach to a global audience quickly. Be aware of the potential accuracy limitations of Google Translate though.
Translate Language Auto • EA is significantly easier to set up, promising completion in under a minute. Blaze Country Redirect requires more configuration, especially if you're not already using Shopify Markets.
Blaze Country Redirect, when properly configured with Shopify Markets, offers more accurate localization as it redirects users to specifically designed stores for each region. Translate Language Auto • EA relies on machine translation, which may not always be accurate.
Potentially, but it might be redundant. You could use Blaze Country Redirect to direct users to the correct Shopify Market, which could then utilize Translate Language Auto • EA to translate the content within that specific market if the market's default language is not supported. Consider the impact on the user experience as well.
The translation quality will suffer, potentially leading to confusion or a negative user experience. The merchant has limited control over the translation process, as it is entirely reliant on Google Translate's algorithms. A language selector gives the customer control to switch back to the original language.
Yes, Blaze Country Redirect leverages the currency settings within your Shopify Markets. When a customer is redirected to a specific market, they will see prices in the local currency if set up in Shopify Markets.
