Motivation

eBay Translation Widget is a fully customizable React component that allows you to translate eBay item title and description to another language.

This component provides a responsive UI experience with two different modes:

• Translation by Text: Simply enter the item title/description in the textbox, set the traslation context and click Translate

• Translation by listing/item ID: This mode uses eBay Browse API to fetch the item title and description and then uses eBay Translation API to do the translation

It comes with a ready to use example and a NodeJS express server to bootstrap integration with eBay Translation API.

Features

• Supports two different modes:
  • Translate by text
  • Translate by eBay listing/item ID
• The widget currently supports nine languages and the to/from permutations can be easily updated in SupportedTranslations.js
• API errors/warnings are displayed as alerts and can be overridden
