Translations

A Translation record stores the text shown to shoppers in each language (product titles, menu names, policy pages, and more).
Use DataEase to fix outdated text, add new languages, or remove old translations in one upload.

2. Export

  1. Pick CSV or Excel.
  2. Choose Translation as the entity.
  3. Select the fields you need, such as resourceId, value, and locale.

Outdated translations (the original text changed) show in red so you can spot them fast.
See full steps in the Export guide.

3. Import

Supported commands: UPDATE, DELETE (default is IGNORE).

  1. Download the export file.
  2. Fill the sheet: keep resourceId, originDigest, language columns like [es] value or [fr/France] value.
  3. In DataEase, match the fields, upload the file, and run the import.

Tips

  • UPDATE rows must include correct originDigest and resourceId.
  • Leave a language cell empty to keep that translation.
  • Use DELETE with an empty language cell to remove that specific language value only.
