Topic summary

  • Request: Bulk upload product titles and descriptions in two languages (English and Arabic) to Shopify at the same time.
  • Each product has unique, manually authored content per language; no automated translation is involved.
  • Update: Shopify’s multi-language feature exists, but it does not natively support importing multiple languages through CSV (comma-separated values) files.
  • This means localized titles/descriptions cannot be uploaded simultaneously via a standard CSV workflow.
  • Outcome: No workaround or recommended method was provided; the question remains open on the best approach to achieve this.
  • Further guidance on alternative import methods or tools was not discussed.

Hello,

I have an inquiry regarding bulk uploading products to Shopify. Is there a way to upload the product names and descriptions in two different languages (English and Arabic) simultaneously? Each product has a unique name and description for each language that has been written manually, without relying on translation. What is the best approach in this case?

Thank you in advance.

@Omar94 Shopify has a built-in multi-language feature, but it doesn’t natively support bulk uploading different languages through CSV files.
