Universal Clothing opted to with Human Translation for optimal engagement and use WebInterpret to translate their listings for Germany, France, Australia and America.
WebInterpret specialize in localizing your listings on eBay & Amazon sites and Universal Clothing would recommend them. If you are considering Machine Translation as a more cost-effective and quicker solution, try reading our comparative article on Google Translate & Bing Translator.
