Global expansion, localizing content, and selling in multiple currencies and languages
Update January 2024: We're pleased to be able to share that Product Type is now translatable. More here.
-------
Currently, November 2023, when using the 'Product type' filter with Shopify Search & Discovery app, it only functions in a store's default language and will be hidden in a non default language. This is being worked on and we estimate that product type will be fully translatable for the start of 2024.
In the mean time, this is a workaround to achieve much the same functionality, plus the ability to translate. It does it by creating a metafield that holds the same values, and metafields have translation support. Please note, the original problem of product type not being translatable will be solved; if you use this workaround you would later be wanting to delete it and switch back. So this is only suggested as a short term fix to cover the gap.

Hi,
I'm trying this method and it goes well on the storefront, but there's a problem when I'm doing the bulk edit.
I can't save the values as it says there are invalid values when I'm at the bulk edit page, but I can save the same values on the metafield box at the product page alone. Is it a bug or have I done anything wrong?
Thank you.
This is an accepted solution.
