lyskamm Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I am often scrolling thru Lazada descriptions and mostly find them in Thai language only. Once it was possible to just copy and paste for translation. This is no longer possible. Any idea how to translate the Lazada product descriptions?

planemad Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I use Firefox, so, simply highlight the Thai text you want to translate, right click and select "Google Translate for Firefox". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mickeymaus Posted November 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2022 Use the Chrome Browser - mobile or PC. Call up Lazada in Thai and don't switch to English!!! In the browser select to translate the whole page to whatever language you want - for instance in the menu of the Android browser you will find translate. Now you also have translated the reviews. Text in pictures will not be translated. You can download the images and use the Google translate app for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not heard of auto-translate? Laz obviously too cheap to pay the license fee to Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post redwood1 Posted November 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2022 Let me make this very very simple.... On a PC, Use a Chrome browser......

Right click the mouse on the page to translate.....Then click on translate... There you go,.....That's it....

Use the google translate on your phone and point that at the image on your computer/laptop screen. Saves a lot of effort! PS; the reason I use the select rather than the whole page translation is initially I only need a quick translation of the description. All the rest can come later if and when I get serious about the product! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrya Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Also, bear in mind that many Sellers simply steal product descriptions from each other or from other sources and often have no clue what is exactly the raw material and such. We've tried it with various products and find it appalling how limited their knowledge is on their own products. And indeed, many lie about their products. We have often ended up not getting replies upon asking various details both in Thai and English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The (Almost) solution to this problem is to click on many different sellers of the same product....Mix it up between Lazada a Shopee.....Many many very many times at least one seller has a pretty good description of a product.....But on occasion they all suck....And some times Amazon will save the day.....But then again some times Amazon will not save the day with a good description......

True. Finding a good Seller with good and correct product description is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Not saying, especially on Lazada, the product quality has gone down as Lazada has a policy of "competitive price". They simply decide what they consider competitive regardless of the quality. So if someone wants to sell better quality, they will be excluded from boosts, benefits, advert options etc. Hence, cost has to be reduced in order to satisfy the st.pidest ever policy of an online shop. We know this as we sell online. If we set a prices competitive, we get more clicks and more exposure. However, some products can only generate loss. Pathetic indeed.

It will automatically translate to whatever language you selected in Chrome Preferences for languages. Note: Do NOT add Thai to the Google preferences for Languages. The list is only for languages you want to translate TO, not from. Don't even bother using Lazada's language button which usually will not translate reviews or even work on all pages.

Of course Lazada drives me crazy in more ways than this. Lazada has got to have one of the worst search engines I've ever seen.
