Starting with API version 2025-10, image alt text will be exposed as a [`TranslatableResourceType`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-10/enums/TranslatableResourceType). This means that image alt text surfaced to the buyer will be eligible for translation through the [Translations API](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/international/localization-and-translation).
