Where can I find hidden locale files in the Minion theme?

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A store owner using the Minion theme has discovered that not all editable text strings appear in the standard locale files (like en.default.json). Specifically, two sections are missing:

  • Checkout & System
  • Accounts (new)

While these sections can be edited through the Theme Editor’s content interface, they don’t exist in the accessible locale files. The user is seeking the location of these “hidden” locale files to enable bulk text editing and translation management outside the theme editor interface.

The question remains unanswered - no solution has been provided yet for accessing or locating these additional locale strings programmatically.

Atleast in my theme, you can edit texts with locale files. (ex. en.default.json) However, that file doesn’t include everything that’s available to edit in Theme content. 2 sections that are not in the locale file are Checkout & System, and Accounts (new). I want to edit those translations via a locale file.

My question, is there a file somewhere that contains these hidden locales? I’m using the Minion theme.

(To anyone curious, I just need the file so iI can put it all into a bulk text editor.)
Thanks in advance.
