A user launching a German-language Shopify store using the Dawn theme couldn’t locate where to translate the “size” label on product pages. Despite searching theme labels, code files, and consulting Shopify’s AI, the English label remained.
Resolution:
The issue was solved when another user clarified that this label is controlled through the product variant settings in the Shopify backend, not through theme customization files.
Key takeaway:
Variant option names (like “size”) are edited directly in the product settings under variant management, independent of theme translation files.
Hey there
I’m about to launch a shop in Switzerland, the site is in German. But only the label “size” on the product page is in English and I can’t find where to translate it. I have asked Shopify’s AI, I have searched the code files, and also the theme labels. Unfortunately, in the theme labels “size” is not listed.
Does someone have an idea of where I could change it? or override it?

Your help is much appreciated,

Hey @saltnwyniger ,
This label can be edited through the product variant editing and has nothing to do with the theme.
Hi @saltnwyniger ,
Please go to Actions > Edit code > snippets > product-variant-picker.liquid file.
Please send me the code of the file, I will check and guide you
Mindblowing @StudioEnchant
thank you!
Thank you @namphan It can actually be edited in the backend on the product variant itself.
