In #68219 we indexed all products with their English descriptions. We should update the index to contain the translations for product descriptions in the same format as WP.org plugins.

For that we need to:

[ ] Find a way to get the translation for a product description in WC.com
[ ] Update the indexing logic to store translations in the same format as WP.org plugins

@bgrgicak are translations saved in some sort of meta fields in WC.com which we can index through elastic?

bgrgicak commented 1 year ago

Translations are stored in the wp_wccom_translations database table. I'm not sure how to best do this with Jetpack search, but here is an example of what we did for Algolia.

How many languages does WC.com have?
How do we sync the data? Is there an action we can utilise or should we add one?
Does the serialised field sound a good option?
Where are we storing the data in WPCOM?
