Hello, I’m very glad to see where Shopify is going with the new theme 2.0, however, something still bothers me. Do we really have to manually add input fields in sections for each language we want to translate and hard code {% if request.locale.iso_code == “fr” %} again? Everything else is transla…

I guess you can use the section locale and t filter: https://shopify.dev/themes/architecture/sections/section-schema#locales

Yep it seems that Shopify sneaked an update to section translations, I’ve been able to translate content since about two three weeks ago.

Hi, but in this way the only thing that is translatable are labels, not content. Am I right? I was looking for a way to translate all the dynamic content filled in the Customize sections. Did you manage a way to do it? Thanks. Fabio.

With the new OS 2.0 there was a sneaky updates and now sections and user input content are available for translation in any apps.

Thanks for the quick reply, is there a documentation for that? I can’t find anything.

Really depends what you are trying to do here, if you are developping an app for translations, I guess you could find something in the admin api documentation .

It could be a way to add everything dy…

Shopify and translations, seems to be back in the early 2000 coding world, incredible that they don’t manage translations in a smart and adaptable way… it is all about buy apps… sad

Hi, I am trying to translate everything inside the Customize without leaving it. I am not building an App.

I thought there were the possibility to manage the translations somehow without a third party app but It seems it is still not possible.
