Fetching Translations for Products

[PhilReinking]

The plugin currently syncs the Shopify products data with the stores default language. Shopify can also store translations for the products fields. Is there a way we can sync the products with translations for the languages that are defined in Craft on site level?

In BulkOperation and the Shopify Admin API it should be possible to fetch translated values like this:

mutation BulkFetchProductsWithMultiLangTranslations {
  bulkOperationRunQuery(
    query: """
    {
      products(first: 250) {
        edges {
          node {
            id
            handle
            title
            descriptionHtml
            translations(locale: \"en\") {
              key
              value
            }
            translations_fr: translations(locale: \"fr\") {
              key
              value
            }
            translations_de: translations(locale: \"de\") {
              key
              value
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    """
  ) {
    bulkOperation {
      id
      status
    }
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

The only problem I see here, is that we naturally don't have a mapping between Shopify locales and Crafts sites locales. So one solution could be to extend the settings to add a config, which translations/locales the sync should consider and to which sites the translations are mapped.

@nfourtythree just a friendly ping, can you say if this is something that can be solved or is it out of scope of the shopify plugin?

Hi @PhilReinking

Apologies for the delayed response, appreciate the little nudge.

This is indeed a good point/suggestion and something that is being worked on.

Hoping to give you an update on this soon!

Please keep an eye on this issue and if there is anything pre-release you could test out we will let you know.

Thanks!

@nfourtythree thanks for the update. Let me know if there's something to test out!

Hi @PhilReinking

Thank you for your patience on this one.

We have just pushed some updates which adds this feature and is scheduled to be included in the 7.2.0 release of the plugin.

If you would like to try out these features, change your craftcms/shopify requirement in your project's composer.json to:

"require": {
  "craftcms/shopify": "dev-nathaniel/pt-3135-fetching-translations-for-products as 7.1.2",
  "...": "..."
}

Then run composer update.

Please note that this is obviously work in progress so I recommend doing this locally and maybe creating a separate app in Dev Dashboard if you are already running a live project.

Let us know if you spot any issues or have any feedback.

Thanks!

This feature along with a number of other major improvements meant that we turned the next release of the Shopify plugin into a major version (8.0).

This has now been released and includes this feature. Please take care when upgrading to review the CHANGELOG and the README which have important things that may require your attention when going through this process.

Thanks!
