Manually translate properties

You cannot import translations or other values for shopper-visible settings, such as the names of shipping methods, so you must manually translate them.

This section applies to Open Storefront Framework (OSF) and Storefront Classic.

You can also manually translate properties for catalog items, though importing translations is recommended when working with a large number of properties. See Import translations for catalog items for more information.

To manually translate items:

1. Select the language to translate to from the content-language list at the top of the page.
2. Open the item whose properties you want to translate.
3. Fields for translatable properties that you have not yet translated into this language are blank.
   Note: The untranslated names of product-type properties are not blank, but appear in the store’s default language.
4. Enter the translated value for each translatable property on the page.
5. Click Save.
