I want to solve the "translation missing" error.

Topic summary

Shopify store shows “translation missing” errors after changing the default language from English to Japanese, using the ICON theme and the Langify translation app. The user believes missing entries in the Japanese locale file (ja.json) may be the cause and asks what code to add and where.

A second issue: product descriptions do not display on a product page after the language switch, even though content is saved. A product URL and multiple screenshots are provided, which are central to understanding the errors and settings.

Technical context: Langify is a translation app; ICON is a Shopify theme. ja.json is the Japanese locale file where translation keys and values are defined.

Community replies recommend contacting ICON theme support (and note they should fix it for free). The latest update from the user indicates they already contacted Shopify, Langify, and ICON support, but were directed back to the community and did not receive help.

Status: Unresolved. Key questions remain about which translation keys are missing in ja.json and why product descriptions don’t render after the language change.

I contacted Shopify support, Langify support, ICON support and was told to ask the community…

Assumption:
・I want to translate into Japanese-English.
・The default language was originally set in English,
but was changed to Japanese during the site construction process.

Question 1
I get the error as shown in the attached image. As you can see in the attached image, perhaps I should edit the folder named ja.json in local folder, but what specific code should I add and where?

Question 2
After changing the default language to Japanese, the product description is not displayed, (https://bao–lan.com/products/%E2%86%A9%EF%B8%8E%E7%9F%A2%E5%8D%B0%E3%80%87%E3%80%87pt-%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB-%E3%83%94%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B9)
even though I have saved the input as shown in the attachment. How can I resolve this as well?
