Using Locales in an app section does not work as described in docs

Hello,

I’m adding an app section and using the “locales” section for translating the text content in the section as described in https://help.shopify.com/en/api/guides/modifying-online-store/app-sections#appsectionschema.

For example if my app section was the following

{{ "label" | t }}

{% schema %}
{
  "name": {
    "en": "My Section Title"
  },
  "locales": {
    "en": {
      "label": "My Section Label"
    }
  }
}
{% endschema %}

The app section displays “Translation Missing: en.label” instead of “My Section Label”

Am I doing something wrong or is this in fact broken?

Hey there @Andrew-Corknine ,

Thanks for flagging this- it does indeed look like there is an issue with the locales property outputting the value you expect here. I’ve raised this with the team who are currently looking into it, and I’ll update here when we’ve implemented a fix.

Cheers,

Hi @Liam ,

This seems to be working now, though I cannot see how a merchant would edit the locales/translations if they want to use different wording. Is that possible in an app section like this?
