How to use "Advanced Filter" to find text to translate •

The Advanced Filter feature in the Hextom AI Translate & Currency app lets you translate or exclude specific fields in a targeted way. This is especially useful when you only want to translate certain fields (like product titles) or avoid translating specific content (like collections).

Note: The Advanced Filter is exclusive to AI translations and requires a paid plan for the app.

Below, you'll learn:

How To Exclude A Category From Translation

Usage of the Advanced filter

There are two scenarios in which you can utilize the Advanced Filter:

Translate a Specific Sub-Category: The Advanced Filter allows you to translate specific fields within categories, such as product title, body HTML, URL handle, meta title, meta description, and metafield.
Exclude a Specific Category or Sub-Category: You can also use the Advanced Filter to exclude certain categories or sub-categories from translation.

To learn more about how to use the Advanced Filter in these scenarios, please continue reading below.

Accessing the Advanced Filter

Go to the Translation page, select a target language, and click "Load to translate". Find the category you want to translate from the list and click on the "Configure AI Translation" button.

You will be redirected to a page showing the Basic filter as well as the original texts from the category. From here, you can click on the "Switch to advanced Filter" button.
You are now in the Advanced filter, where you have more options to filter subcategories for translation.

Translate a specific sub-category

First, you will need to switch to the advanced filter by pressing the button, as shown here:

Then select the first category you want to translate. For this example, I want to translate all the Product Titles, so I need to select "Product" for the first category. You also have the option to filter the Product status whether you want to translate the Active, Draft, or Archived products.

Now for the sub-category, this is where you can select "Product Title" to only translate them.

After setting up the filter, you can scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Start AI Translation" button to run the translation.

Exclude a specific category

If you select "All" in the categories, our app will give you the option to exclude a specific category.

To exclude a category, select "Yes" and then choose the specific category you want to be excluded. In this example, I will be excluding the "Collection".

If the category has a sub-category, you'll see an option to exclude a specific sub-category.

After setting up the filter, you can scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Start AI Translation" button to run the translation.
