Global expansion, localizing content, and selling in multiple currencies and languages
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently facing an issue with my Shopify store. Despite having set the default language to Romanian, many elements have been correctly translated (such as checkout items). I have a theme library with a .json file containing Romanian translations for various elements, and I'm also using a theme editor to customize how other strings are displayed on the site.
However, I've encountered a challenge with two specific filters: "price" (where users can select a minimum and maximum price range) and "product type" (which includes the tags I've set for products). These strings don't seem to be covered by the existing translation methods.
I've explored different avenues to locate where I can translate these strings, but I haven't been successful so far. I'm reaching out to the community to see if anyone can guide me in the right direction or provide insights on how to translate these elements effectively.
Your assistance in helping me find a solution for this matter would be greatly appreciated. If you have any suggestions, advice, or resources that could assist me in resolving this issue, please share them with me.

Thank you for your time and support.

Hi @juju_batwoman , nice store. You have found known limitations. Changing the currency in price is being worked on by the relevant team (the Search & Discovery app team) as well as Product Type. In the short term the suggested workaround for Product Type is to use a metafield to do the same job, which can be translated. For currency there is no easy workaround because the price filter is showing the default currency, so translating alone wouldn't solve the problem. For info on how to hide it based on country see here: https://www.shopify.com/uk/partners/blog/customize-content-by-country. Sorry there aren't easier fixes, they are being worked on.

Hei there, do we have any updated for this? I have the exactly same issue. Really looking forward for a solution for the Product Type translations
Hi @PrintNStuff , repeating my answer just not for complete visibility: unfortunately Product Type is not currently translatable (October 2023) and does not show in the non default language. This is being looked at but I don't have a timeline for you.
