Verified steps

  1. Query `translatableResource(resourceId: $productId)` to retrieve the product's translatable content fields and their `digest` values — each field has a SHA-256 digest of the original content that you must include in the translation input
  2. Identify the field keys you want to translate (e.g., `title`, `body_html`, `handle`) from the returned `translatableContent` array
  3. Call `translationsRegister(resourceId: $productId, translations: [{locale: "de", key: "title", value: "Mein Produkt", translatableContentDigest: $digest}])` for each field and locale
  4. Check the returned `translations` array and `userErrors` in the payload; a digest mismatch (when original content has changed since you fetched it) causes a validation error — re-fetch the digest and retry
  5. Repeat for other translatable resources (collections, metafields, shop policies) using their respective GIDs as `resourceId`
  6. Verify translations by querying the Storefront API with `@inContext(language: DE)` and confirming the returned product title matches the registered translation
