Translations export improvements

Import and export Shopify data with ease. Matrixify-compatible.

Available on Shopify App Store

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.key format 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.
