Our technology has the potential to change the way people interact with their electronic devices and with each other remotely. This means we have the opportunity to impact the lives of millions of people on a global scale.

– Simon Chaput, Founder of Boreas Technologies

Boréas’ global roadmap includes China, one of world’s largest consumer electronics markets in the world.

To target this high-growth market, the Boréas team has set up market-specific content on its Shopify site and localized that content accordingly with Weglot.

Both English and Chinese translations powered by Weglot are available to China users.

As Shopify sites inherently aren’t performance-optimized for China, they naturally searched for solutions to improve the overall performance, user experience, and searchability of their site for their China visitors.

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear it from the Boréas team.

The process was super easy and I’m really glad we selected your team. The experience has been beyond my expectations.

– Nicolas Duchesne-Laforest, Product Marketing Manager

After the Chinafy optimization process, the Boréas team was also able to -

Ensure full interactivity of the entire Shopify website, especially its checkout cart

Ensure the Weglot translated pages are viewable as intended in China

Configure its site so that Google Analytics can fire in China as intended

Update their site from Canada with ongoing automated optimization powered by Chinafy
