Shopify Metafield Translation
Translate Shopify Metafields with AI
Easy Advanced Translations lets you translate Shopify metafields manually, in bulk or automatically with AI.
Translate product, product variant, collection, shop, blog and article metafields into your store languages while keeping control over exactly which namespaces and keys are translated.

|---|---|
| Product metafields | Yes |
| Product variant metafields | Yes |
| Collection metafields | Yes |
| Shop metafields | Yes |
| Blog metafields | Yes |
| Article metafields | Yes |
Choose exactly which metafields to translate
Shopify stores can contain many metafields, including data that does not need translating. EAT lets you specify the namespace and key of the metafields you want included. This gives you control over which custom data enters your translation workflow.
| Namespace | Key |
|---|---|
custom |
materials |
custom |
care_instructions |
product |
additional_information |
How it works
1
Choose your languages
Select the Shopify languages you want to translate into.
2
Select metafield resources
Choose product, variant, collection, shop, blog or article metafields.
3
Add namespace and key
Tell EAT which specific metafields you want translated.
4
Translate and publish
Translate with AI, in bulk or manually. You can also configure automatic translations for future updates.
Example: multilingual product specifications
Materials
100% organic cotton
Care instructions
Machine wash cold
Ingredients
Aloe vera, Vitamin E
A merchant may store information such as materials, care instructions, ingredients or technical specifications inside product metafields. Instead of leaving this information in the original language, EAT can translate the metafield alongside the rest of the product content so customers receive a more complete localized product page.
