# Manage Product Types in Medusa Admin
In this guide, you’ll learn how to manage product types in the Medusa Admin.
## View Product Types
Product types are useful to group products by a general type, such as "Physical" and "Digital" product types.
To view product types in your store, go to Settings → Product Types. Here, you can see a list of all the product types you have set up in your store. You can also search, filter, and sort the product types to find the one you are looking for.

## Manage Product Type's Translations
Locales are available from [Medusa v2.12.3](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/releases/tag/v2.12.3). If you don't see the translation management in your Medusa Admin, request your technical team to [upgrade your Medusa application](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/update).
Product types can be translated to locales (languages) [supported by your store](https://docs.medusajs.com/settings/store#manage-store-locales). You can either manage translations [in bulk](https://docs.medusajs.com/settings/translations), or manage translations for an individual product type from its details page.
To manage translations for the product type:
1. Click on the icon in the first section's header.
2. Choose "Manage translations" from the dropdown.
3. In the [bulk editor](https://docs.medusajs.com/tips/bulk-editor) that opens, you can view and edit translations for the product type's value in each locale supported by your store.
- To edit text with multi-line support, double click the respective cell to open a larger text area.
4. Once you're done editing, click the Save button to apply the changes.

## Manage Products in Type
You can manage the type of a product in the [product's details page](https://docs.medusajs.com/products/edit#manage-product-organization).

- Choose "Insert row above" or "Insert row below" from the dropdown.
