A recent initiative taken by eBay.com bears significant promise for the language translation industry. eBay has announced a new translation service for its Japanese sellers. The service will help Japanese sellers to get their product descriptions originally written in Japanese to be translated into English within a couple of days at the most. This augurs well for Japanese sellers who will now be able to communicate with a much larger number of customers across English speaking countries like U.S., U.K. and Australia. Even buyers would have more options, as they would be able to buy Japanese goods which they earlier couldn’t because they did not understand the product descriptions.
eBay has been putting in substantial efforts to encourage international trade and already offers such a program for its Chinese sellers. All this obviously promises exciting opportunities for translators. In fact at Tomedes we have been translating pages for eBay.com since quite some time and would continue to do so.
