Translations export improvements
Export translations with product-level filtering, full GID columns, and more context to help identify what you're translating.
December 17, 2025
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.keyformat 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.
