Avoiding Dodgy Translations (On Your Amazon Listings) With Jana Krekic

Amazon translation queen Jana Krekic joins me today as we take a look at some really dodgy translation work and how you should avoid this at all costs on your own listings.

Stay home, stay safe!

A bit of a background

  • Jana Krekic has been around ecommerce for 9 years now.
  • She owns the YLT Translations Agency specifically catering to Amazon sellers scaling to other international markets.

Big No-no’s for International Market Listings

  • You can not translate word-for-word for listings because sometimes words do not mean the same in their cultural context.
  • It may sound offensive or really weird.
  • Example: Plus size when translated literally would be “fat woman”.
  • It will be really offensive, if you are not careful.

Tips

  • German is another language that is sensitive and can not be translated word by word.
  • Spanish, Italian and Japanese — these are languages that when you translate word by word, from English, would really sound weird or offensive.
  • Do not skimp budget on translations.
