Translation exports already let you scope to a set of products by ID, handle, or tag. Those filters now also narrow the Media Images data type, so you can pull alt-text translations just for the images on the products you care about instead of every file on the shop.
What’s New#
- Media image translations follow product filters - exporting
Media Imageswith a product ID, handle, or tag filter returns only the images attached to those products. Variant images are included because Shopify links variant media to the parent product’s gallery. - Works with the collection handle filter too - combine
Media Imageswith a collection handle to pull translations for every image on every product in that collection.
Improvements#
- Targeted media exports are dramatically faster - when a product filter is active, the export fetches translations for just the matching images instead of paging every media file on the shop.
