Product Description Translate on Shopify Admin Panel

Topic summary

Main issue: One Shopify store has Turkish product descriptions, a new store requires English. The requester wants to change product descriptions directly in Shopify Admin, not use a front-end translation app.

Suggested approach: It depends on the store’s base (default) language. Add Shopify Markets to the Turkish store, translate product content to English in Admin, and assign English to the appropriate market/region. The responder asks why two separate stores are needed.

Key terms:

  • Base language: the default language in which store content is authored.
  • Markets: Shopify’s tool to manage regions and languages, allowing per-market translations directly in Admin.

Status/Next steps: No resolution yet. Evaluate translating within Shopify Admin via Markets and consider whether maintaining two separate stores is necessary. The need for separate stores remains an open question.

Hello,

I have two shopify store. One of them has Turkihs product descriptions. But my new store needs to English Product descriptions.

How can i change product descriptions with an app or, shopify admin. I dont want to translate app on my website. I want to change in the products.

Best regards.

It depends what is your base (store default) language. The easiest route it to add Markets to your Turskish store, translate to English and set english to the right market.

Is there a specific reason why you need to stores to be separated?
