Shopify Extension Deployment Error: Total size of locale data exceeds 256 KB limit

[simposk]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently running into an issue when trying to deploy my Shopify ui_extension. The deployment fails with the following error:

From what I understand, this happens because I have too many translation files, and the total size of my locales folder goes beyond the 256 KB limit.

For now, I’ve resolved this temporarily by deleting a few locales, but this is not a sustainable solution. The extension is expected to grow in features, and naturally, the translation files will continue to grow as well.

Has anyone faced a similar issue?
• What would be the best way to handle this?
• Are there any best practices for managing translation files to stay within Shopify’s limit?

Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

thank you for reporting this!

There are plans to eventually support higher limits, but I can’t communicate a timeline yet.

Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

I think apart from deleting languages or shortening keys / translations, there’s not much I could recommend at the moment.
