Case Study: eBay achieves customized multilingual translations with Microsoft Translator Hub

eBay gains customized translations for multiple languages with Microsoft Translator Hub

eBay, a major global commerce platform, needed an efficient and cost-effective way to translate website content for over 190 geographic markets without building new, dedicated local sites for each one. To address this challenge, they turned to Microsoft and implemented the Microsoft Translator API and Translator Hub to provide customized automatic translations.

Microsoft's solution enabled eBay to build custom translation systems for retail terminology and integrate them seamlessly into their main site. This allowed eBay to quickly offer item descriptions in more than 20 languages. The results were significant, with the system translating approximately 150 million characters daily, leading to increased site traffic and revenue from international markets and a greatly enhanced user experience for global customers.
