- rahimnathwani 12y agoI've heard that some people browse and buy using Google Translate. I imagine it's difficult (because listings include lots of text embedded in images) but better than nothing :)
- dikensrover 12y agoGoogle Translate is not as much as reliable for English to Chinese translation.
- rahimnathwani 12y agoYou're right, but I was suggesting using it for Chinese to English, not English to Chinese. For product descriptions written in Chinese (especially long ones), an automated English translation can be good enough for the reader to make a purchase decision.
