How to use Taobao in English (with Google Chrome)
In order to make your shopping trip more easy and time-saving, We have made an instruction on how to use Taobao in English.
Use Google Chrome web browser when visiting Chinese websites.
When you are viewing Chinese online shopping websites such as Taobao, Dangdang, Paipai, etc., we strongly recommend that you use Google Chrome. With Google Chrome's automatic translation function, you can translate the web content into your language very easily. Chrome will keep the original URL, whereas applications such as "Google Translate" change the URLs so you will have difficulties submitting them to forums, bulletin boards or our purchasing system.
If you want Chinaglobalmall (English medium for shopping on Taobao) to help you purchase the products, you can enter the original URL of the Taobao product or enter keywords into our search bar.
For example, a Chinese language product page on Taobao:
1. Right-click and select the translation function of Google Chrome for your own language. The original URL is not transformed, so you can put it into Chinaglobalmall to search or place order directly.
Note: There is a bug in the translation process - Chinese Yuan are incorrectly translated into “Dollars.” The original price for this pair of shoes of course stays 174.96 RMB - which is around 30 Dollars.
2. Click "Search" button on Chinaglobalmall's homepage after putting the original URL in the search form.
3. Then, you will find the product page on Chinaglobalmall. You may place an order directly now.
