Translation Module for Medusa: manages locales, translations of entity fields (such as product titles and descriptions), and translation settings that define which entities and fields are translatable. Use it to add multi-language support to a Medusa store. It ships with @medusajs/medusa and is only enabled when the translation feature flag is on.
