Filter Results not translating in the Translate & Adapt app

Topic summary

A merchant reported that product filter values (specifically size options) were not translating properly in the Translate & Adapt app. While product names translated correctly between Latvian and English, the filter options remained in Latvian regardless of language selection.

Resolution:
Shopify staff confirmed this was a known limitation and announced it was fixed. As of the update, both custom filter labels and filter values from the Search & Discovery app are now translatable.

Additional Issue:
Another user encountered a similar problem with Product Type filters not translating to Finnish. The workaround involves:

  • Creating a custom metafield to replace Product Type
  • Using metafields instead, as they support full translation while Product Type does not
  • Following the detailed guide provided in the Shopify community post about translating Product Type

The original issue appears resolved, though Product Type translation still requires a metafield-based workaround.

Hello!

I am looking to find a solution to this problem.

I have a website in two language - latvian (main) and english.

In the latvian version i have product size options with names 10,52 m (7 Sekcijas), but in the English version I have the options with names 10,52 m (7 Sections). Altho this is the case, when I change the language to English the Latvian options stay.

How can I change that?

Hi @ARSystems , this is a known limitation which will be solved within the next few weeks. Thanks, Rich

Thank you for the reply. Hope to get this solved soon.

Hi all, some good news: as of today both custom filter labels and custom filter values / filters from Search & Discovery app are translatable. More here. Please try, and feed back with any issues! Rich

Thank you for implementing this. Can see that everything is now translated. Gonna give feedback if I see anything wrong.

Hei how exactly can we do this? can you please help me?

When I switch to Finnish page I can only see sizes and not the product types translations … what exactly should I do to solve this?

Hi @PrintNStuff , to workaround you would need to add what you currently have as Product Type as a custom metafield. It’s duplication of work I’m afraid, but this is how you can solve. Metafields have full translation support, whereas Product Type does not.
