Product Description translation field missing in Translate & Adapt

Hi there!

I have modified the Dawn theme to have the Product Description in a dropdown menu.

Now I want to translate the Field tittle "Description" but it doesn't exist in the Translate & Adapt.

How can I make the field appear in the template screen in  Translate & Adapt?

Hi @miltokas , it looks like you've hardcoded it:

You'd have to add translation keys to enable this to be translated - see discussion of similar here.

Hi @miltokas , does it have content in the default language English? If not, add some, save it, then search for it in Translate & Adapt's global search (in the top bar).

Hi @richbrown_staff!

Yes, it does have content in all pages and the collapsible works fine. The only problem is that the field title Description doesn't show up in the Translate & Adapt anywhere to be translated.

The product description isn't part of the template. It's part of the product. Go to the relevant product in Translate & Adapt and the second field is the description. E.g. here.

Hi  @richbrown_staff you are totally right, it is part of the product.

My problem now is that there is no option to translate the Product fields. Any idea on how could I translate it?

Thanks!

Hi @miltokas , not sure what you mean here. Translations can be added a) manually, b) by clicking auto-translate above it, which translated this product, or c) from the app homepage by clicking auto-translate there which translates the whole store.

Hi @richbrown_staff !

I know how the translations work. What I said is, I need to translate the field Description to Descripción (example is Spanish), the content of the Description is already being translated fine.

Example below, the field title Shipping got translated correctly to German, the field title Description was not translated
