Hello Shopify (Staff)
Is there any way to want a feature on Shopify?
I don’t understand why the translationsRegister and translationsRemove mutations have not yet been released for bulk operation mutation?
Topic summary
Request to add Shopify Admin GraphQL bulk operation support for translation mutations, specifically translationsRegister and translationsRemove. Bulk Operations are used for large, asynchronous data imports/updates.
Motivation: Merchants need to update translations for product metafields at scale (e.g., >100K products). Without bulk support, translation updates are slow and cumbersome.
Technical focus: Enable these translation mutations within Bulk Operations (import) to streamline large-scale localization workflows.
Latest update: A Shopify staff member acknowledged the feedback and said they will pass the request to the product team for consideration. No commitment, timeline, or workaround was provided.
Status: Open and unresolved. Key open question: when (or if) translationsRegister/translationsRemove will be supported in Bulk Operations.

Hi @m8th 
Thanks for your feedback! We will let the product team know that it would be valuable to have the translation mutations support bulk operations.

Hello,
Actually, I need the same feature to update our product’s metafields translations.
We got more than 100K products to update so it’s really tricky without bulk operations.
Best regards
