Taobao English version

Does taobao.com have an English version? Although Taobao provides international version: https://world.taobao.com/, it is a Chinese version.Perhaps you have noticed the top left corner. However, after you choose the English page has not been translated into English. We can see Taobao using Google Translator Plugin, but now it didn’t work and we don’t know why.

Then I directly access the Google Translation: https://translate.google.com. Paste the URL into the left input box and click the button in the right. It changed a little. Sadly. If you want to find something from the home page easier it is obviously still difficult. Fortunately, however, we can come according to the product image. I opened a product page. Happily, this translation is very good.

So now, we can exactly to say there is no Taobao English version, more eclectic approach is to use Google Translation. In view of Google translate can not accurately translate every words, I suggest you to learn Chinese if you really have to buy something on TaoBao your own. Chinese is not as hard as you think especially the simplified Chinese characters.
