Accessing and updating localizations of metafields

Our store has an automation that, under certain circumstances, copies field values from a metaobject to similar metafields of a product variant.

The store currently has two locales for translation: EN and JP. EN is default, and so the above automation currently only effects the EN text of these metafields.

How can I:

  1. Access the JP localized version of fields in a metaobject, and
  2. Update the JP localized version of metafields in a product variant

Using Shopify Flow? Or is this simply not possible today?

I think you need to query a separate API to get the translated values Use metaobject capabilities

This is the API

Flow doesn’t support this query currently.
