Do you sell products on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon or similar and want to enable buyers from all over the world to order your products? To do so, it is essential to translate your product descriptions into the native language of your audience.
Product translation on Amazon: specific challenges
The e-commerce international giant Amazon enables individuals and professionals from all over the world to resell products easily from the marketplace, whatever the sector (industry, cars and motorcycles, IT, books, toys, home and garden, music, travel, sports and leisure etc.).
As a seller, you will have to create a detailed description and fill in technical information about your product.
To maximise your visibility on the platform and allow non-English speaking buyers to order your products, it is essential that you translate the content into the native language of the prospective Internet customers.
To make this easier, Amazon has implemented machine translation software (Amazon Translate). However, like any other machine translation system, this tool does not provide a 100% reliable translation.
Literal translation, gross errors, ambiguities, poor reading... These errors are very common with this type of translation. They can greatly damage your company's brand image, impact the product's referencing, and reduce sales. The stakes are particularly high for high-end products (IT equipment; luxury cosmetics and perfumes; branded clothing, etc.). To avoid setbacks such as these, it is therefore highly recommended that you use translation professionals.

Amazon Product Translation FAQs
The cost of translating a product description on Amazon or another e-commerce platform depends on the volume of text to be translated, the technicality of the content and the language pairing. Please contact us for a detailed quote.
We recommend that your content is translated into the buyers' native language. Indeed, even if English is the universal language, a buyer will always be more sensitive to content written in his native language. This creates a close relationship and sends a very positive image to the customer.
