Topic summary

Multilingual product search in a Shopify Hydrogen + Remix store, focusing on Spanish market support. Products are auto-translated using the Translate & Adapt app.

Current behavior: search only matches default English product titles; Spanish queries fail to return results. Goal: enable searching by translated Spanish titles.

Proposed workaround: fetch all products and filter by their title in the requested locale within the route loader. Concern: this may be inefficient.

Key question: can Shopify’s GraphQL APIs search products using translated (non-default) titles, or is search limited to the default language?

Technical context: Hydrogen/Remix is Shopify’s custom storefront framework; GraphQL is the API query language; Translate & Adapt provides automated content translations.

Status: no resolution yet; seeking confirmation of GraphQL capabilities and best practices for multilingual search. No images, videos, or code snippets are central to the discussion.

Hello, so i have a store in Hydrogen + Remix. I am wondering how to search for items in different language.

So to give more details I have a market for Spanish, and i auto-translated all products via Translate and adapt app. for now i can only search for products in their default title in English, but i want to search for them in Spanish too, and when i search for them in Spanish they are not found.

I have the only solution is to get all products and filter for their title in given locale on route loader. Is there possible way to search for product in other language than default title in graphQL or is it forbidden?
