CONTEXT · INDUSTRY TEXT

Understanding the material

Listing rules from Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Zalando and Alibaba set limits on title length, prohibited wording, attribute fields and text in images. Translating without them produces copy that reads well but cannot be uploaded, or that triggers review.

Keywords deserve separate treatment. Translating Chinese selling points literally often misses local search behaviour. We propose keyword candidates by category, place high-value ones naturally in titles and bullets, and keep existing brand product names and model codes.

Note: Etrans regularly handles document translation projects involving the international brands named above and is familiar with their terminology and layout conventions. Brand names describe document types and project context; they do not imply endorsement or authorisation by the brand owner.

How we handle it

  • Delivered against platform field and character limits
  • Keywords localised to target-market search habits
  • Model codes, specifications, materials and certificate IDs unchanged
  • SKU-level tables ready for bulk import
WHY IT MATTERS · KEY DIFFICULTIES

What makes this field different

Platform rules outrank style

Title length, prohibited terms, promotional wording and attribute fields are hard constraints; we audit the fields before translating.

Keywords are not literal translations

Selling points and search terms often differ. We supply candidates by category with rationale and let the operations team choose.

Consistency at SKU scale

Dozens of SKUs in one series must use identical wording for specifications, materials and warranty; templates and glossaries prevent one-off rewrites.

FAQ · COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about this service

Can you deliver against our back-end template?
Yes. We output tables matching your field list, with titles and descriptions respecting their own character caps for direct bulk import.
Can you help localise keywords?
Yes. We propose category keyword candidates and placement advice. Bidding and ranking outcomes remain an operations decision; we do not promise traffic results.
How is consistency kept across hundreds of SKUs?
Templates and glossaries first, translation memory for repeated fields, then a batch search check on specification, material and warranty wording.
Do you check prohibited wording?
We run one pass against published marketplace rules and flag risks; final compliance depends on the listing review outcome.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing is based on source volume, language pair, technical difficulty and turnaround, with tiered rates for volume and long-term work. Send the files for an accurate quote within 30 minutes.
Can you sign an NDA and handle confidential files?
Yes. Confidential projects are handled with restricted access and encrypted transfer; files are deleted on request after delivery, with no copies retained.
