I am creating a new topic, but the issue is basically the same as this one
https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-APIs-SDKs/TranslationsRegister-Locale-has-an-invalid-languag...
The language is Burmese.
All the request are made through Shopify Admin GraphQL API
The locale code for Burmese is "my", and the language is added to a test store using this request
curl --location --request POST 'https://<shop_url>/admin/api/2020-07/graphql.json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Shopify-Access-Token: <access_token>' \
--data-raw '{
"query": "mutation enableLocale($locale: String!) { shopLocaleEnable(locale: $locale) { userErrors {message field} shopLocale {locale name primary published} } }",
"variables": {
"locale": "my"
}
}'
To confirm that the language is there you can use
curl --location --request POST 'https://<shop_url>/admin/api/2020-07/graphql.json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/graphql' \
--header 'X-Shopify-Access-Token: <access_token>' \
--data-raw '{
shopLocales {
name
locale
primary
published
}
}'
Response
{

"shopLocales": [
{

When we try to create a translation for Burmese we get
Locale has an invalid language code
curl --location --request POST 'https://<shop_url>/admin/api/2020-07/graphql.json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Shopify-Access-Token: <access_token>' \
--data-raw '{
"query": "mutation CreateTranslation($id: ID!, $translations: [TranslationInput!]!) { translationsRegister(resourceId: $id, translations: $translations) { userErrors {message field} translations {locale key value} } }",
"variables": {
"id": "<product_gid>",
"translations": [
{
"key": "title",
"value": "Burmese translation for product",
"locale": "my",
"translatableContentDigest": "<content_digest>"
}
]
}
}'
Response
{
"data": {
"translationsRegister": {
"userErrors": [
{
"message": "Locale has an invalid language code",
"field": [
"translations",
"0",
"locale"
]
}
],
"translations": []
}
},
"extensions": {
"cost": {

}
}
}
}
It is not related to the published state of the language.
You should be able to translate while the language is not published.
I will appreciate if a Shopify API developer can take a look on the matter and check if the language is properly registered.
