Integrating the new collection and product slugs

[DennisKraaijeveld]

Hi! I saw that there was an update we all(?) have been waiting for. The ability to translate collection and product slugs is an awesome update in terms of UX and SEO.

Now my question is: How can we use this in Hydrogen 2. I use Sanity (Connect) to source my web store but I am not that concerned on how to setup that with the new update. The only thing I have troubles with is figuring out how to build /collections/collectieA and en/collections/collectionA

The following handle is the default handle which we wanted to translate to an English handle. The only way to get the English page is to input the original handle. Using the translated handle will return null.

query getTranslatedCollection @inContext(language: EN) {
    collection(handle: "kerstboomversiering") {
    id
    handle
  }
}

Output:

"data": {
    "collection": {
      "id": "gid://shopify/Collection/448104005942",
      "handle": "christmas-tree-decoration"
    }
  },

Someone on the Discord channel responded that this is probably an oversight by the API team. Do we know how much time it will take to sort out something like this? Do we talk about days, weeks or months?

As it's a new feature, I assume they will want to cleanup some of these edge cases. But I'm not sure I can give a definitive time frame, but I doubt it will be within the next week or two.
