Learn how to import and translate Chinese reviews into English with Editorify

To import supplier reviews in English, translate them before you import. On every paid plan, the Editorify extension translates the reviews you pick with AI in one click. On any plan, you can also use Chrome's "Translate to English" on the supplier's page before you scan. This matters most for 1688 and Taobao, whose reviews are usually in Chinese.

Option 1: translate the page with Chrome (any plan)

Open your supplier's product page and wait until it has fully loaded.
Right-click on the page and select "Translate to English". The page, including the reviews, is translated.
Click the Editorify icon and continue with the import as usual. The reviews are imported in their translated form.

Option 2: AI translation in the extension (paid plans)

In the review editor, pick the reviews and click Translate. They are rewritten in the language set under Translate to in Settings, and the translated text is what imports. Premium includes about 200 translated reviews a month, Gold and Diamond about 2,000. Use it when Chrome's page translation misses the review text, or when your store sells in a language other than English. Full steps: How to translate reviews with AI before you import.

Option 3: import only reviews already in English

If the supplier's site has a language setting, switch its main language to English before you open the reviews. The video below shows this on AliExpress.

Check before publishing

Read the translation before you click Import. Use Show originals to compare, and the pencil to fix a word. If a review still reads badly, leave it out. You can also hide reviews that mention the supplier with the keyword blacklist.
