Need Help Translating Price and Product Type Filters on My Shopify Store

Topic summary

Issue: Translating the collection filters “Price” (min/max) and “Product type” into Romanian on a Shopify store.

Status and limitations:

  • Both filters have known localization limits. The Search & Discovery app team is working on improvements, but no timeline was provided.
  • Product type is not translatable and does not appear in non‑default languages (as of Oct 2023).
  • The price filter displays the store’s default currency, so translating labels alone won’t solve mismatched currency display.

Workarounds shared:

  • Product type: Use a metafield to replicate product classification and filter against that; metafields can be translated. A staff “tips/workaround” resource was linked.
  • Price/currency: No straightforward workaround. You can hide the price filter based on country using Shopify’s country-based content customization guide (link provided).

Definitions:

  • Metafield: Custom, translatable data fields you can attach to products to power filters and content.
  • Search & Discovery app team: Shopify team responsible for filtering/search features.

Outcome: No fix yet; suggested metafield workaround for product type and conditional hiding for price. Discussion remains open/ongoing.

Hi @PrintNStuff , repeating my answer just not for complete visibility: unfortunately Product Type is not currently translatable (October 2023) and does not show in the non default language. This is being looked at but I don’t have a timeline for you.
