Catalog & content
Localize a product description for a target market
Act as a Shopify localization specialist. Localize the following product description for the {target market} in {target language}. Do not translate word-for-word.

(2) Rewrite the description to use those keywords naturally while keeping the original brand tone. (3) Adapt units, sizing, and cultural references for the local market. Output the localized description, then a short note on what you changed and why.Technical SEO

(3) After the translation, list every sentence that is compliance-sensitive and needs human review, with a one-line reason for each.Operations & scale
Translate email notifications without breaking Liquid variables
Translate the following Shopify email notification into {target language} for the {target market}.

Also: (1) keep the tone consistent with the store's checkout language; (2) keep legal and refund wording accurate; (3) flag any dynamic field that needs testing after translation. Output the translated template, then list every Liquid variable you preserved.DeepL

Checkout & conversion
Translate checkout labels without breaking local payment trust

(2) Keep labels short enough to fit the original button and field width. (3) Use the terminology shoppers expect at checkout, not dictionary translations. Output a table: original label | localized label | note if the local name differs from a direct translation.
