# Translate & Adapt US/CAN Update: Auto-sync translations for up to 8 languages By Steven Van · 2026-10-27 Auto-sync translates new and updated store content weekly for US and Canadian merchants, and Shopify now covers up to 8 languages instead of 2. Merchants in the United States and Canada can now turn on Auto-sync in [Translate & Adapt](), and the number of languages [Shopify]() can translate automatically has gone from 2 to 8. ## Auto-sync Until now, editing a product description or other store content meant going back into the app to re-translate it manually. Translated storefronts could fall behind, and buyers could land on outdated content in their language. With Auto-sync enabled for a published language, Shopify translates new and updated content automatically each week. Translations written manually are never overwritten. ## Turning it on Auto-sync is off by default. To enable it, open Translate & Adapt, select a language, and use the Auto-sync toggle. It can be switched on or off per language at any time. ## Translate now and language slots The Auto-translate button is now called **Translate now**. It is for translating content immediately rather than waiting for the next weekly sync. Using Auto-sync, Translate now, or both for a language counts as 1 of the 8 language slots. ![Shopify]() Shopify Build and run an online store — e-commerce platform with themes, payments, inventory, and AI tools for creators selling products.
