Certain elements do not show up on translated version of website

Topic summary

Issue: On the default-language site, the collection sidebar displays available colors as visual swatches. On the translated version, the same color options render as text labels, and the translations are incorrect.

Scope: Affects the side collection bar within collection pages. The behavior change occurs specifically when viewing the translated webpage.

Impact: Users on the translated site may experience a less intuitive filter/selection UI and potentially misleading color names due to faulty translations. This reduces consistency between language versions.

Evidence: Two screenshots are provided—one showing swatch-style colors on the main site, and another showing text-based color names on the translated site. The images are central to understanding the discrepancy.

Status/Requests: The poster is seeking help diagnosing and fixing why swatches become text and why translations are wrong on the translated site. No solutions, actions, or consensus have been posted yet; the thread remains open.
