Why did my theme update erase most translations?

Hey @Ogenstad , Theme translations are local to that theme. This is because themes can differ vastly and each element has a unique id - there’s no easy way to port them from one theme to another unless the theme is duplicated. They will need to be manually copied to the new theme. To do that, make the old theme live briefly, export the translations CSV (Settings > Languages > Export) and then make the new theme live and do the same. Filter down to ONLNE_STORE_THEME (delete everything else) and then compare the two. Manually update column H on the new theme’s CSV. Unfortunately the difference in field IDs means that this is the way to do it.
