Before You Start

Before translating reviews, make sure your store has at least one additional language to translate into.

To translate Judge.me reviews, make sure your store has at least one additional language added, published, and ready for Translation Lab to work with. Follow these steps:

1. Add a language in Тranslation Lab

Go to T-Lab -> Languages and click Add language.

Choose the language you want to offer in your store.

2. Publish the language

After adding it, click Publish so the language becomes active and visible on your storefront.

If a language is not published, customers will not be able to view translated reviews.

💡 Adding a language in Shopify automatically makes it available inside Translation Lab. If the language is not published, translations will exist in the backend but won’t be visible to customers.

3. Link the language to a domain

For the language to be visible and accessible in your store, Shopify requires it to be attached to a market or domain, so it can have a working URL on the storefront.

4. Enable AI Translation in Translation Lab [Optional]

  • Enable it if you want Translation Lab to automatically translate your Judge.me reviews (via Bulk Translate or AutoAI).

  • Leave it off if you prefer to translate reviews manually inside Translation Lab.

AI Translate is optional — it is only required for auto-translation. Manual translation works without it.

Inside the Translation Lab -> Languages -> Toggle "AI Translate"

Enabling this allows Translation Lab to auto-translate review content (and is required for using the Bulk Translate button or AutoAI on Premium).


⚙️ How It Works

Translation Lab connects directly to Judge.me through your Judge.me Public API Key. Once connected, you can sync to import and translate your Judge.me product reviews.


Translating your Judge.me resources:


Add your Judge.me API key to Translation Lab

The first thing you need to do is to add your Judge.me Public API key, so that Translation Lab can grab your Judge.me reviews.

Adding your API key is required just the first time.

1. Go to General settings -> Integrations -> and click the View API token button:

2. Copy the Public API token:

3. Add it in Translation Lab, under the Settings -> General Settings page:

4. Go to Translations -> Judge.me and click the Sync button to import your up-to-date reviews:

🕒 The Sync action only pulls reviews that exist at the moment you press the button. If you receive new reviews later, they will not appear automatically — you must click Sync again to update and include the latest reviews.


How to Translate your Judge.me reviews

Before you can translate, make sure you’ve pressed “Sync” at least once.

Syncing loads all existing reviews from Judge.me into Translation Lab.

Once reviews are synced, you can translate them in two ways - manually or using AI Auto-Translate in bulk:

  1. Open the Bulk Translate window

    • In Translation Lab, go to Translations → Judge.me.

    • Click the Bulk Translate button in the top-right corner of the page.


  2. Select your target languages

    • Choose one or more languages to translate into.

    • The number of available languages depends on your Translation Lab plan (shown in the Bulk Translate dialog).

    • If the language is greyed out and you are unable to select it, you have to enable the "AI Translate" toggle for it in the "Languages" tab in T-Lab.

  3. Start the translation

    • Choose whether to translate only "Not translated" reviews or "all" if you want to re-translate existing(translated) reviews.

    • Tick the Judge.me box and click Translate.

    • Translation Lab will automatically translate all imported reviews into your selected languages.

💡 You can translate reviews into multiple languages at once, depending on your plan limits.

💡 Only the review text itself is translated through Translation Lab.

Widget titles, labels, or buttons (like “Write a review” or “Most Recent”) have a built-in translation option inside Judge.me app.


Translating the general resources of the Judge.me app

The general resources of the Judge.me widgets have out of the box translations from Judge.me itself. Those are the general texts that the Judge.me app uses, like "Write a review", "Customer reviews", "Most Recent", etc..

To activate those translations, go to:

1. Judge.me -> General settings.

2. Enable the "Show headers for all widgets in each of your store's languages" checkbox:

This will activate the pre-defined translations for the General texts in Judge.me:



AutoAI (Autopilot) – Automatic Sync & Translation

If you’re on the Premium plan, Translation Lab can automatically sync and translate new Judge.me reviews every 12 hours — without any manual steps.

💡 Available on Premium plan only.
With AutoAI enabled, you no longer need to click Sync or Bulk Translate - Translation Lab keeps your reviews translated and up to date automatically.

Here’s how it works:

  • AutoAI monitors your Judge.me account for new or updated reviews.

  • Every 12 hours, Translation Lab automatically imports (syncs) any new reviews.

  • These new reviews are then automatically translated into all the languages you’ve enabled for AI translation.

  • Translated reviews appear on your storefront instantly, just like manually synced ones.

How To Enable AutoAI for Judge.me, you have to:

1. Go to your Translation Lab -> Auto AI Translations:

2. Enable AutoAI:


3. Select your languages:

4. Select whether to update just new or outdated content as well

5. And enable the checkbox for "Judge.me"
