Find and translate Metafield by keywords

Shopify translation API does not provide metafield keys, only the values. Therefore, the Translate and Currency app does not currently support searching metafields by key.


The best way to get around this limitation is to use a common keyword that is present in all the values of the metafields you want to translate.

For Example:

Let's say we have the following product metafield, with all of the text in the image below as the value. Since we don't have the metafield key, we need to find a keyword that appears in all similar metafields. A good example is the keyword "🚀 Shipping time:", which seems to be present in every product shipping metafield.


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Translation page in the app.
  2. Go to the Manual Translation section.
  3. Use the "Find by keywords search" function.
  4. Select a target language
  5. Select all in the Translation status
  6. Enter the common keyword "🚀 Shipping time:" into the search bar.
  7. Click the Find Text to Translate button. The app will display all products and pages that contain that keyword.

  1. Input the translation in the field on the right, and then click Save.
