Sell Where They Do Not Speak Your Language: Listing Translation

Title and Description, Rewritten Into the Buyer’s Language.

Listing on an overseas eBay site is only worth doing if the buyers there can read it.

Translate rewrites a listing’s title and description from one language into another, so the same item can go up on a marketplace whose buyers do not read the language you wrote it in.

  • It sits where you are already working. In the listing editor, with the account and site pickers — because the marketplace is what decides which languages are worth offering.

  • Pick the language you wrote in, then the one you want. The target list follows the source: each source language has its own set of targets, so choosing the source is what decides what is available.

  • Title and description together. One press rewrites both and puts the results straight into the listing.

  • Nothing is committed until you save. The translation replaces the text in the editor; if it is not what you wanted, leave without saving and the original is untouched.

One piece of advice from the manual: finish the listing before translating it. Translating a draft and then editing means editing in a language you may not read.

Plus, manage eBay listings across multiple accounts and global sites effortlessly with a single login.
