You can now move translations between Shopify stores. Export your translations from one store, then import the same file into a different store - Altera uses resource handles to automatically find the matching products, collections, pages, and other resources on the target store.
🚀 What’s New#
- Cross-store translation transfers – export translations from a source store and import them directly into a destination store without manual ID remapping.
- Handle-based resource matching – during import, Altera verifies each resource ID against the target store and falls back to handle lookup when IDs don’t match.
- Collection filters – filter translation exports by collection handle or collection type (manual vs smart), helpful for exporting translations for a specific collection or group of collections.
- Metaobject type filter – filter translation exports by metaobject type, helpful when you only need translations for a specific type like “color” or “material”.
- Product option value translations – exports now include option value translations with structured handles like
1.Smallfor easy identification.
🔧 Improvements#
- Handles for all resource types – the Handle column now covers products, collections, pages, blogs, articles, menus, metaobjects, metafields, product options, and option values.
- Grouped metaobject types – the metaobject type filter groups custom and standard types into separate sections for easier browsing.
- Responsive filter layout – filter rows now wrap properly on smaller screens.
