Shopify saves translations of rich text fields only as rich text JSON. You can now put plain text, HTML, or Markdown in the translation column, and Altera converts it for you.

### 🐛 Fixes

- **Rich text translations** - translations for rich text metafields and metaobject fields no longer fail when the value is plain text, HTML, or Markdown (see [Translated content](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/13177878-translation-fields#general-translated-content)).
- **Rejected translations** - when Shopify rejects one translation, the other translations for the item still import, and the warning names the field and language (see [TRNS017](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490216-error-and-warning-codes#TRNS017)).
