Missing translations in store default language
The issue with missing translations in your default store language begins when you see a "translation missing" message on your online store. This can affect any element that has text on your shop.
In the example above, we can resolve this issue by following the steps below:
- Go to your Shopify admin, then navigate to Sales Channel > Online Store, and click on "Edit Code," as shown below:
- Next, navigate to the language file where the issue is located within the Locales folder. In this example, the translation is missing in the English language, so we will open the "en.default.json" file.
- The issue was a translation located at "en.products.product.add_to_cart". On the screenshot below, we have found the "products.product", but there is no "add_to_cart" element:
We can then resolve this issue by adding the line "add_to_cart": "Add to Cart", as shown below.
- Now, after refreshing our product page, we can see that the "translation missing" issue has been resolved.
