Translate 'Sold Out' badge

Topic summary

Issue: A store with a French interface shows the sold‑out badge as “Dispo en pre commande.” The merchant wants the English version to display “Available for pre-order,” but can’t find where to translate this via Translate & Adapt or a translation app.

Guidance shared:

  • Theme route: Admin > Online Store > Themes > … > Edit default theme content to find/translate the string. Note: renaming the Sold Out badge doesn’t create pre‑orders; enabling “Continue selling when out of stock” removes the Sold Out badge and may confuse customers. A dedicated pre‑order app (e.g., Early Bird) can show clear pre‑order status and custom badges/buttons.

Clarification: The merchant already uses a pre‑order app and only needs the badge translated; default theme content changes only the default language.

Latest suggestion: Install “Product Labels & Badges.”

  • Create a label with “Dispo en pre commande.”
  • Use the built‑in Translate toggle to add “Available for pre-order” for English.
  • Set Inventory status to “Out of stock” so the label shows only on sold‑out items. Images provided show where to toggle translation and set conditions.

Status: No confirmation from the merchant; resolution unconfirmed.

Thank you but i already have a pre order app installed-

I just need the badge to be translated-

Default theme content just changes the wording in the default language - but doesn’t translate.

Thanks
