Nova: Multi Currency Converter and Translate Language Auto • EA both fall under the Currency and Translation categories on Shopify, but they address different aspects of internationalization. Nova focuses on displaying prices in the customer's local currency, aiming to increase sales by providing a seamless, location-based shopping experience. It allows merchants to automatically convert prices, offering 130+ currencies and customizable currency bar designs. Translate Language Auto • EA, on the other hand, emphasizes broad language translation using Google Translate. It targets merchants wanting to make their entire store accessible in over 240 languages with minimal setup. The core difference lies in their approach and target merchant. Nova is ideal for shops focused on international sales where currency is a barrier, providing a localized pricing experience. Translate Language Auto • EA appeals to stores wanting to cater to a wide range of linguistic backgrounds, prioritizing ease of setup and comprehensive translation. Nova focuses on specific currencies with granular price adjustments whereas Translate Language Auto covers far more languages via Google Translate. The choice between them depends on whether price localization or broad language accessibility is the priority.
