Product subtitle Dawn theme

Topic summary

A user is experiencing translation issues with product subtitles in Shopify’s Dawn theme. They’ve repurposed the ‘seller/vendor’ field as a subtitle (renamed to ‘control’) on product pages, which displays correctly but cannot be translated—making it the only untranslatable element on their site.

Current situation:

  • Using vendor/seller field for product subtitles
  • Field renamed to ‘control’
  • Translation functionality not working for this field

Question posed:

Hi All,

I have a question about the subtitle under products in the dawn theme. We have now entered this on the product page as ‘seller/vendor’ and I have changed the name of this field to control. This works fine in principle, but the problem is that this is the only part of the website that we cannot translate. Is there another way to put a subtitle under products so that we can translate these as well?

Hi @Sam123435

Are you referring to this field?

Best,
