Translate Option & Metafields without app

Hello guys,

Hope you’re doing well! :slightly_smiling_face:

I have a question about import, i’ll do my best to explain you :

We want to import products from a CSV file, using metafields for products. We have french names on the products, but the options like color (Color : Black) and metafields (Status: Good) are in english.

What we need is to import the products in Shopify in English (because we certainly duplicate the store in other languages for other markets), and in our french store, find a way to translate the options and metafield elements.

For example, import a CSV with “Color : Black” and metafields “Status: Good”
And once received in Shopify, translate it automatically into “Couleur : Noir” and “Statut: Bon”, in french.

We dont want to use an app to translate because we need to keep the same URL, not add something like “/fr”

Any solution/tips/code/snippet for this ? :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for your help,

Hi @AnhLe

Thanks for your answer ! :slightly_smiling_face:

I didn’t find the option for basic mode, should I take a premium/paid plan ? or is it also possible on free plan ?

If yes, can you please tell me the steps ?

You just need to use the Free plan, add a language, then see the magic.

You also can upgrade to a paid plan to use full exclusive functions!

For translating Metafields the way is to use the GraphQL Translations API. I do not know if a public app exists for that but with some custom code it is possible.
