I encountered an error when requesting the "CreateTranslation" api

Topic summary

Error returned by Shopify’s GraphQL CreateTranslation API: “FAILS_RESOURCE_VALIDATION” with message “Too many translation keys.” The poster cites Shopify documentation (via a screenshot) but doesn’t understand the meaning or limit implied by the error.

Key points:

  • Symptom: request fails with a resource validation error specifically about exceeding translation keys.
  • Context: documentation is referenced, but the explanation/limit is unclear to the user.

Open questions:

  • What constitutes a “translation key” in this context?
  • What is the maximum number allowed per request or resource?
  • How should the request be structured or batched to comply with limits?

Status: No replies or resolutions yet; guidance is requested.

Note: An attached image (screenshot of docs) appears central to understanding the cited explanation.
