We've added the 'Market' column to imports and exports to allow you to optionally scope translations to specific Shopify markets. You can now import and export translations that are scoped to a specific market, so French for Belgium can differ from French for France.

### What's New

- **Market column** - a new optional Market column in translation spreadsheets lets you scope translations to a specific Shopify market.
- **Market export filter** - filter your translation export by market name to get only market-specific overrides.
- **Market-scoped delete** - delete market-scoped translations independently without affecting global translations.

### Improvements

- **Flexible market input** - the Market column on import accepts market names, numeric IDs, or full Shopify GIDs.
- **Backwards compatible** - leaving the Market column empty (or omitting it entirely) works exactly as before, targeting global translations.
