Translations are outdated after changing the original content

You updated the original product description, page, or other content, but a target language still displays the previous wording.

Saved translations need a separate update when the original content changes. For example, editing an English product description leaves its saved Danish translation in place until you update or remove that translation.

1. Find the affected translation​

  1. Open Language → Manage translation for the target language.
  2. Open the relevant resource and click View details next to the item.
  3. Compare the current default-language content with the saved target-language text. See Edit translations if you need help finding the resource.

2. Update the saved text or return to Auto Translation​

Choose the option that fits the content and your plan.

  • Generate a new product translation. Depending on your plan, click Improve translation with AI, review the new wording, and save. This feature translates one product at a time.
  • Enter the translation yourself. Type or paste the updated target-language text, then click Save. This option is available on every plan.
  • Use Auto Translation for the field. Click here in Click here to revert to using GLC AI translation below the field, then save any pending changes. This removes the saved override so Auto Translation can translate the current visible text on the storefront.

Keep a copy of wording you want to reuse before replacing or removing its saved translation. Apply the change to the affected fields and target languages.

3. Check the storefront​

Open the affected page in a new private window, select the target language, and check the updated wording. Auto Translation may take a moment to appear.

If the old text remains, send the page URL, target language, and screenshots of the original and translated text to [email protected]. Our team can help locate the saved content and request collaborator access if needed.
