Automatic and scheduled jobs focus on customer-facing copy. Technical fields stay in the source language unless you change them in the editor.

Skipped automatically

  • URL handles and similar slugs
  • Product types
  • Links, URLs, and file references
  • IDs, SKUs, barcodes, and short codes such as S / M / L
  • JSON and other technical value types
  • Empty source fields
  • Locked fields you saved yourself

Can be filled when Missing or Outdated is selected

  • Titles and descriptions
  • SEO title and description
  • Option names and similar labels
  • Image alt text
  • Other storefront-facing text fields

Recommendation

For scheduled jobs, start with Outdated only. Add Missing only when you also want first-time translations.
