I’m currently developing a Shopify app using Remix, and I’m looking to enable translation functionality through Shopify’s native Translate & Adapt app.
My app includes a theme app extension that merchants can embed in their stores. The goal is to have this extension appear in the Translate & Adapt app so that merchants can easily translate its content into different languages.
hi @angpro ,
I’ve tried this with a fresh app template but I couldn’t get it to show on the translate and adapt app. But I had scala placementors app installed in my store and it picked up it’s app blocks just fine. The translation also worked flawlessly. I think it takes some specific structure of the local json file for translation. Let me know if you can get it to work
I also have tried with another shopify translation app and it did auto translate my app.
I suspect that the translation with Translate & Adapt will only work if manually add more languages into “locales” folder. After I added “es.json”, Spanish version of the store (created with Translate & Adapt) was reflecting the translation form “es.json”.
Translate & Adapt also provides the opportunity to edit translations, which is super useful for the app international adaptation. So that is sad that the app is not displaying on “App embeds” section, even though it shows the translation form “es.json” when the shop translated to Spanish
Since sometime in the last 12 months that is no longer a limitation.
It seems like the Translate & Adapt app is now able to deal with “normal” app blocks in sections.
