The challenges
Understanding the challenges of e-commerce translation
What makes this content harder than ordinary text, and how we handle it.
1
Scale
Catalogs run to thousands of items. A glossary and translation memory keep every listing aligned.
2
Product terminology
Sizes, materials and features must be named the same way everywhere.
3
Local shopping habits
What persuades in one market falls flat in another. We adapt copy, not just words.
4
Frequent changes
Prices, stock and seasons change. Stored text means updates cost less time.

FAQ
Retail & E-Commerce translation FAQ
What is e-commerce localization?
E-commerce localization adapts product pages, categories, listings, checkout text and campaigns for shoppers in another market. It covers wording, units, formats and cultural fit, not translation alone.
Can you translate large product catalogs?
Yes. We handle catalogs and product feeds in spreadsheet or file formats you use, and we reuse a translation memory so repeated phrases stay consistent and efficient.
How do you keep product terms consistent?
We agree a glossary for product names, attributes and units at the start, and apply it across every listing and later updates.
Do you adapt marketing copy, not just descriptions?
Yes. Campaign copy, emails and banners are adapted for tone and appeal in each market, and we flag wording that does not carry over.
Do you handle size, unit and currency formats?
We follow the formats and units your listings use, and we flag where target-market conventions differ so you can decide how to present them.
Can you translate marketplace listings?
Yes. Marketplace titles, bullet points and descriptions are localized with attention to wording shoppers actually use, within your platform’s limits.
How do I request a e-commerce translation quote?
Use our quote form or contact page and include the language pair, the type of document, the deadline and the files if you have them. We reply with a quote and a plan.
What affects the cost of e-commerce translation?
Length, language pair, subject complexity, formatting needs and deadline. Send the files and we will quote after reviewing them.
