We’ve improved translations exports with additional columns and filters that make working with multilingual content easier.
🚀 What’s New#
- Full GID columns – new ID and Parent ID columns show complete Shopify Global IDs for easier programmatic use.
- Product-level filters – filter translations by product status, tag, or creation date when exporting product-related content.
- Locale exclusion – use NOT_EQUALS to exclude specific locales from your export (e.g., export all locales except English).
🔧 Improvements#
- Richer context columns – Handle, Parent Type, Parent ID, and Parent Handle columns help identify nested resources like metafields.
- Metafield namespace.key display – metafield handles show as
namespace.keyformat for quick identification. - Primary locale excluded by default – exports automatically skip your store’s primary language since it doesn’t need translation.
⚠️ Heads-up#
- Export only – translation imports are planned for a future update. For now, you can import exported files directly into Shopify’s admin.
- Extra columns for context – we’ve added columns that Shopify’s admin import doesn’t require but doesn’t reject either, making your files easier to work with.
