When Zazzle BR opened, I received an email from their BR staff inviting me to open a store in the BR site. I understood they would be actually promoting these stores.
Anyway, only months later I opened my BR store (
this thread) and had some issues. The first was that the products appeared in the USA site but not in the BR site were they were created. A couple of days later, this was solved.
But what isn't solved is that the description and keywords are not translated to the other languages (I checked Zazzle USA, ES, FR and DE). Here is an example:
http://www.zazzle.com/body_bebe_agapornis_tshirt-235037151774007172 keywords "body", "lovebirds" and "fashion" were already in English in the BR version.
I would not mind the descriptions much - in fact, given the poor job in their translations, I would rather write them in other languages myself (at least English, in some special cases in other languages), but it would be a nightmare to include keywords in all languages!
And then, in the other hand, creating everything in the USA site is another problem. If I write something in Portuguese, their translator thinks it's English and does some even more bizarre translation that it does on the English text.
I wonder if anyone here has a non-English Zazzle store and also have this problem. If this is how it works, what is the purpose of opening a non-English store? Only avoiding the poor translations to your language? But then we're missing a much larger audience.
