Hello I don’t think I’m addressing the right place, but I’ll give it a try anyway.
I have a question about translations on Aliexpress and Alibaba. I’d like to sell products on this platform, and I’d like to know how translations are done in different countries. Is it possible for the specifications and description section to have a different product text, depending on which country the consumer is in or which language the consumer has chosen to set up their Aliexpress (or Alibaba) account in?
Since I want to sell fairly technical products, I can’t rely on Aliexpress’s automatic translation for my product descriptions.
I run the risk of ending up with misunderstandings and having to deal with returns and disputes, which I wouldn’t have to deal with if it were possible to adapt specifications and descriptions according to the country where the consumer is located.
Ideally, I’d like to have a different text (for specifications and description) depending on the country or language configured by the user. Is this possible?
Yes, AliExpress and Alibaba allow for multiple language listings. You can create separate listings with accurate translations for each target language. While automated tools can assist, manual input or professional translation is recommended for technical products to ensure accuracy and avoid misunderstandings.
