How can I automatically translate product options to German?

Shopify Discussion
,

Topic summary

Goal: Translate Shopify product option labels (variants like sizes) to German automatically for a store that should be German-only (Prestige theme).

Context: Store content is already in German, but variant labels remain in English. The request is for a non-manual solution and no additional languages.

Suggestions shared:

  • Rename or add custom variant labels directly in German.
  • Engage a developer to translate existing variant data (no specific steps provided).

Follow-up: The store owner, who is a developer, asked for concrete directions but none were given.

Additional input: A second participant in German asks for an update—“Habe das gleiche Problem – bist du mittlerweile auf eine Lösung gestoßen?”—indicating others face the same issue.

Status: Unresolved. No automated method identified within the thread; actionable guidance (how to translate existing variants programmatically or via theme/app settings) is still missing.

You can either add a custom variant in German, or you will need a developer to help you out with translating the current variants.
