Shopify Migration: Multilingual Metafield Conversion

Customer: AI | Published: 05.11.2025

We need an experienced Shopify developer to fully migrate product & collection translations from one Master Shopify Store into 4 Country Stores. Current Setup - Master Store with 4 languages: German (primary), English, French, Dutch - 84 products ~10 collections - Multiple product metafields, including Rich Text metafields used for product content in different languages Main Challenges This is not a standard CSV export/import job. Metafields with Rich Text are not exported via Shopify's normal translation export → Translation API workaround required Shopify IDs differ between stores → Mapping must be done via SKU or handle Translations must be preserved exactly for all 4 languages: Titles Descriptions Variant names (if applicable) Metafields (including Rich Text) Must ensure the mapping is correct for: - Products - Collections - Any translation keys that appear in translatable resources What we expect from you - Fetch product translations including metafields from Master store -Map resources correctly using SKU or handle -Push translations into 4 Target Stores using Shopify Admin GraphQL Translation API - Maintain support for all languages (DE, EN, FR, NL) - Run tests to validate content accuracy after migration -Provide a repeatable solution (script or workflow) in case we update translations later Requirements - Proven experience with Shopify Admin GraphQL API - Experience handling multilingual Shopify setups - Strong understanding of metafields & structured content in Shopify - Clean logging, rollback strategy, and testing approach Deliverables - Full migration completed & verified in all stores - Translation pipeline/script delivered - Short documentation for running the process again
