Marketplace Listing Translator (BM/EN/ZH)
Translate product titles, descriptions and specs in bulk from a CSV, keeping model numbers, sizes and units exactly as they are.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $10 for 200 listings (first 20 free)
- Daily math
- 2 packs a day x $10 = $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $550 - $750 / month if the daily math is hit
Audience and urgency
Audience: Marketplace and webstore sellers in Malaysia and Southeast Asia who list the same products in Malay, English and Chinese, or expand to Indonesia, Thailand or Vietnam.
Urgency: Translating listings one by one is slow, and general translation tools often change model codes, sizes or units, which leads to wrong orders and returns.
MVP scope
- ✓ Upload CSV/XLSX with title, description, specs and any other text columns; choose target languages (Malay, English, Simplified Chinese, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese)
- ✓ Protected tokens: numbers, units, model codes and brand names detected and checked to appear unchanged in the output
- ✓ Title length limit the seller sets per channel, with a warning when exceeded
- ✓ Seller glossary for preferred terms
- ✓ Export the same CSV layout with new language columns; credit packs via Stripe
Omitted features
- - Do NOT upload listings to marketplaces or use seller APIs in Day 1
- - Do NOT add keywords or claims that are not in the source text
- - Do NOT translate brand names

Build a "Listing Translator" web app in React with Tailwind CSS and a serverless LLM endpoint.
Core requirements:
1. Upload CSV/XLSX; pick which columns to translate and the target languages (ms, en, zh-Hans, id, th, vi). Show row count and credits needed (1 credit per row per language).
2. Before translating, extract protected tokens per row (numbers with units, model codes matching [A-Z0-9-]{3,}, and a user brand list). After translating, verify each token appears unchanged; flag rows that fail and offer a retry.
3. Glossary editor (source term -> preferred translation per language) passed into the prompt.
4. Per-channel title length limits set by the seller, with warnings and an optional "shorten" retry.
5. Export the original CSV with added columns like title_ms, description_zh. 20 free rows, then Stripe Checkout ($10 for 200 listings).Comparable products
