How to bulk translate products metafields values?

Start a Business

Topic summary

A store owner is migrating from Tags to Metafields because Tags cannot be translated. While metafield values can be translated through Shopify’s import/export feature, the metafield names themselves cannot be bulk translated.

Key clarification: The user wants to translate metafield values (not names) in bulk.

Suggested solutions:

  • Use Shopify’s built-in Translate & Adapt app and click “localize” on the metafield page
  • Install Linguix – Search & Translate app, which offers:
    • Free plan: Search and translate metafields individually
    • Pro plan: Bulk translation of product and variant metafields
    • Full compatibility with Translate & Adapt

Status: The discussion provides potential solutions but doesn’t confirm whether the original poster resolved their bulk translation needs.

Hi,

Our website is in English. We were using Tags for our store. But Tags cannot be translated. So we’re moving on to Metafields. No problem changing the name of metafields BUT how to mass update the values ​​in metafields? Unfortunately, the product export/import feature does not include translated metafields values in it.

Help me please!

Sorry for the confusion, my mistake. Metafields Values can be translated throught import/export but not the Metafields name…is someone knows how to proceed for this ?

Thanks in advance

Install Translate & Adapt, and when you go to metafield page, you click on localize in the right top corner.

I don’t want the metafields name to be translated but the metafields values in it.
