You can create and retrieve translated content for Shopify resources, as well as [metaobjects](/docs/apps/build/custom-data/metaobjects) and [metafields](/docs/apps/build/custom-data/metafields). For example, you might add translations of product information and email notification templates using the GraphQL Admin API so a merchant can send email notifications to their customers in multiple languages. Those translations can then be retrieved by either the GraphQL Admin API or the [Storefront API](/docs/storefronts/headless/building-with-the-storefront-api/markets/multiple-languages).

This guide shows you how to use the GraphQL Admin API to enable the `es` (Spanish) locale on your store, retrieve a product, translate the product's title, publish the new locale, and view the translated content on your store.

## Requirements

- Your app can make [authenticated requests](/docs/api/admin-graphql#authentication) to the GraphQL Admin API.
- Your app has the `read_products`, `write_translations`, and `write_locales` [access scopes](/docs/api/usage/access-scopes). Learn how to [configure your access scopes using Shopify CLI](/docs/apps/build/cli-for-apps/app-configuration).
- You've created at least one [product](/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) in your Shopify store.

## Limitations

- If you need to change a store's primary locale, then you need to make the change in the Shopify admin. You can't change the primary locale using the GraphQL Admin API.
- A resource's `tags` field can't be translated. For example, you can't translate a product's tags.
- The translation response that's returned for menu links and email and SMS notification templates doesn't include the `handle` field.
- If the merchant changes a product's `handle`, then URL redirects for that product won't be supported for language-specific URLs.
- You can translate [metafields](/docs/apps/build/custom-data/metafields) only if they are publicly accessible.
- [App proxies](/docs/apps/build/online-store/display-dynamic-data) don't support translations.

## Step 1: Enable a locale

The [`ShopLocale`](/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/shoplocale) object provides the list of primary and alternate locales that have been enabled on a Shopify store. Each locale has the following attributes:

- **Primary**: Whether the locale is the default locale for the store. You can only have one primary locale.
- **Published**: Whether the locale is visible to buyers. A store can have multiple locales in published or unpublished states.

You can use the [`shopLocaleEnable`](/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/shopLocaleEnable) mutation to enable a locale on your store. Shopify accepts locales in the following formats:

- **Language subtag only**: For example, `en` (English).
- **Language subtag + region subtag**: For example, `en-UK` (English as spoken in the United Kingdom).

In the `shopLocale` response, include the `locale`, `name`, and `published` fields to verify that the locale has been successfully enabled.

> Note:
> By default, newly enabled locales aren't published. Shops are limited to 20 enabled locales.

## Step 2: Retrieve a translatable product

To retrieve the first product eligible for translation, use the [`translatableResources`](/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/queries/translatableResources) query with the parameters `first: 1` and `resourceType: PRODUCT`.

In the `translatableContent` response, include the `key`, `value`, `digest`, and `locale` fields. You need their response values to write the translation in the next step.

## Step 3: Write a translation

You can use the [`translationsRegister`](/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/translationsRegister) mutation to create a new translation for a translatable resource.

When you create a translation, you need to include the translatable content's `digest` value in the `translatableContentDigest` field. A unique digest is returned from the `translatableResources` query for each `translatableContent` entry.

## Step 4: Publish the locale

You can use the [`shopLocaleUpdate`](/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/shopLocaleUpdate) mutation to publish a locale to a Shopify store. Publishing a locale makes it available for [translation](/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/queries/translatableResources). Shops are limited to 20 published locales.

## Step 5: Visit your online store

To view the translation on your online store, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to the product's page on your online store.

2. Add an `es` to your URL. For example, `myshopifystore.com/es/products/great-shirt`.

## Webhooks

Your app can subscribe to webhooks for event notifications related to locales. The following examples show the JSON responses from each of the available webhooks.

To learn how to set up and consume webhooks, refer to [Webhooks configuration overview](/docs/apps/build/webhooks/subscribe).
