π Localization drafts β week of Jul 1
π©πͺ Germany (de-DE): 14 product descriptions drafted β saved as Shopify translation drafts, awaiting your approval.
Here's one so you can check the tone:
Before (en): "These Merino Wool Runners are lightweight (7.8 oz) and run true to size β perfect for all-day wear."
After (de-DE): "Die Merino-Wool-Runner sind federleicht (nur 221 g) und fallen normal aus β ideal fΓΌr den ganzen Tag."
I adapted the units (7.8 oz β 221 g) and sizing phrasing for the German market, and kept the 'du'-neutral, warm tone we agreed on. Nothing is live β these are drafts only. Approve to publish, or reply with edits?

Looks great. Can you do French too?

On it. π«π· France (fr-FR): I found 11 products missing French descriptions β drafting them now in the formal 'vous' voice from your brand guide, converting units and adapting the phrasing (not word-for-word). Same 3 products that are already localized in French I'm leaving untouched. I'll save them as drafts alongside the German batch β still nothing published until you say so.

French drafts are in β 11 saved as Shopify translation drafts. Quick before/after so you can spot-check:
Before (en): "Free returns within 30 days β no questions asked."
After (fr-FR): "Retours gratuits sous 30 jours, en toute simplicitΓ©."
"No questions asked" doesn't land literally in French, so I adapted it to a natural equivalent. Both markets are ready in your Shopify Translations tab, filed per product and language. Want to review in Shopify, or should I walk you through them here?

π They'll be waiting under each product's localized content β publish the ones you're happy with. I'll keep this running weekly: every new or untranslated product gets culturally adapted drafts for your active markets, always saved for your approval first. No need to chase it β I'll surface each batch here.
