How to translate attribute values
Of the String and Text field types
If an attribute is of the String or Text field type, you can translate its values manually or by importing them.
Manually in the product properties
Step 1.
In the Products section, open the selected product.
Step 2.
Scroll down to the Attributes block.
Step 3.
Next to the corresponding attribute, add translations for all language versions and save the changes.
In bulk using import
Step 1.
Generate an export file with the products you want to make changes to.
Step 2.
Make the corresponding changes to the file and save it.
Tip: you only need to leave the SKUs and data that need to be changed in the file. For example, to add a translation of the Country of Origin parameter, you need to import the SKU column (for product identification) and Country of Origin (EN), Country of Origin (RO), Country of Origin (PL) columns. All others can be deleted.

On the import preview page, the columns will be mapped automatically if the names of the attributes in the file and on the website are the same. Alternatively, you can manually map them.
Step 6.
Click Import.
Step 7.
Select which actions you want to perform with the products. Usually, the actions that are already set by default are suitable.

If the attribute is of the Selection from list type, you can enter the value translation manually in the values list or in bulk using import.
