A translation list is a group of products to translate in one go — handy for a new collection, say, or for all products missing Russian text.
Open Translations → Translation lists.
1. Create a list
Click New list and fill in:
- name;
- From language and To languages (several allowed);
- How to translate:
- Background, cheaper — about 50% cheaper, results within minutes to a few hours (default);
- Instantly — product by product, full price;
- Engine — only connected engines are available. In Instantly mode you can choose the company default.
2. Add products
- On the list page paste SKUs (up to 1000 at a time), or
- in the product list select products → Add to translation list, or
- on the product page in the Translation panel → Add to list.
3. Check the volume and price
The How much will be translated block shows the character count and the approximate price. Only missing fields and those whose source changed are counted — text written by a person is neither sent nor overwritten. Click Recalculate after adding products.
If you see Price not known yet, the engine has no price entered — you can still translate, and you'll see the cost afterwards under Costs.
4. Run it
Click Translate in background (or Translate list) and confirm. Each language is sent separately. The page refreshes itself every 10 seconds.
List states: draft → queued → in progress → completed (or error).
Good to know
- Deleting a list doesn't delete translations already written.
- While a list is queued or in progress, it can't be changed.
- Check the finished translations under Needs review.
