About the service
What is e-commerce translation?
E-commerce translation customizes everything an online shopper sees on the way to checkout: product titles and descriptions, filters, size guides, shipping and returns pages, payment messages and order emails. Unlike in general website translation, our translators make sure the text sells, fits character limits and matches what buyers type into search engines and marketplaces.
A literal translation can cost online sales. A size chart left in inches, a price that ignores the local currency, or a product title that misses the local search term all push buyers away at the last step. We localize these details for each market, so translated listings convert the way your original store does.

What a translated store needs to convert
Shoppers leave pages that feel foreign, so each market needs more than translated words.
Local search terms
Online store visitors search Google and marketplaces in their own words, not your translated ones. We find the keywords and search terms buyers use in each language and place them in titles, descriptions and metadata, so your products show up in local search.
Usually needed for: Product titles, marketplace listings, SEO metadata
Sizes, units and currencies
We convert sizes, measurements and date formats, and flag prices, taxes or shipping rules that differ by country. Anything that would confuse a buyer at checkout is fixed before it reaches your live store.
Usually needed for: Size guides, checkout, shipping pages
Character limits
It is important to consider character limits when translating marketplace titles, buttons and ad headlines. Our translators stick to the limit of each field instead of cutting text after translation, so nothing breaks in your theme or listing.
Usually needed for: Amazon titles, buttons, ads
Right-to-left stores
Arabic and Farsi stores read right to left. We translate with the mirrored layout in mind and check prices, numerals, and buttons on the live pages, as we did for Women's Best and CurrentBody in the Middle East.
Usually needed for: Middle East and Gulf stores

e-commerce translation questions
How much does e-commerce translation cost?
Translation plus revision starts at $0.06 per word. The rate depends on the language pair and volume, and repeated text such as product variants and specifications is charged less. You get a fixed quote within 24 hours, so the price is agreed before we start.
Can you translate my Shopify store?
Yes. We can translate Shopify stores from a CSV export or directly inside your translation app, covering products, collections, theme text, checkout, and notification emails. We localized the Women’s Best Shopify store into Arabic for shoppers in the Middle East.
Is a Shopify translation app enough on its own?
It can be. A translation app can move text between languages, but most fill it with AI translation. That can work for low-traffic pages. Product pages, checkout, and ads sell better with human translation that reads naturally and uses the words shoppers search for, and we can work inside the app you already use.
How fast can you translate a large product catalog?
Our team translates about 12,000 words per day. Large catalogs are delivered in batches, best sellers first, so you can launch key products while the rest is in progress. Rush delivery is available at +25%.
What is the difference between e-commerce translation and localization?
Translation changes the words. Localization also adapts sizes, currencies, dates, payment and shipping details, images, and search terms to the market. Most online stores need both, and we handle both in the same project.
