Material Localization
One-stop adaptation of product images & copy for 20 markets, 8 platforms
What Is Material Localization?
Material Localization (物料本土化工具) is an automated, cross-border visual asset translation and copy localization skill on EasyClaw. Designed specifically for global e-commerce sellers, brands, and marketing agencies, it automates the process of translating and adapting product listing main images, lifestyle infographics, A+ Content layouts, and copywriting listings across 20 major international markets and 8 e-commerce platforms (including Amazon, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop).
The skill is built for cross-border e-commerce brand managers targeting new regional markets (such as Japan or Europe), graphic designers adapting listing banners locally, and translation teams coordinating multilingual listings.
The expected outcome is a comprehensive, ready-to-run Localization Blueprint: featuring a detailed target-market cultural profile, exact platform image and layout specifications, precise copy translations, and structured image-rendering briefs to localise your listings.
How Material Localization Works
1. Analyze source assets and target market. Provide your original listing images, A+ layouts, or copy text, and specify your target market (e.g., Japan, Germany, US) and e-commerce platform (e.g., Amazon, Shopee).
2. Cultural profile and terminology mapping. The skill maps the target market's buying behavior, visual preferences, and localized search terminology (avoiding direct dictionary translations to prioritize high-volume search keywords used locally).
3. Copy and text node translation. It extracts and translates text nodes from your copy and image briefs, formatting them into clean, fluent target-language scripts (including titles, bullets, and banner texts).
4. Platform image specification check. It checks the destination platform's official image guidelines (size, resolution, file format, text-ratio limits), ensuring all generated assets are 100% compliant.
5. Localization briefing generation. The final blueprint is delivered in clean Markdown, providing the translated copy, layout instructions, and specific design briefs for your graphic designer or AI image generators.

What Problems Does Material Localization Solve?
1. Localizing Amazon main images and copy for the Japanese market
A US seller wants to list their "leakproof coffee thermos" on Amazon Japan. Direct word-for-word translation reads poorly and fails to rank. The skill analyzes the Japanese market: translating "leakproof" to the high-volume local term "真空断热" (vacuum insulated), checking Amazon JP's image guidelines, and providing a localized title, 5 benefit-focused bullets, and precise visual text briefs for their Japanese infographics, ensuring a successful launch.
2. Translating complex A+ Content for the US market
A Chinese brand has an intricate, image-heavy A+ Content page on Tmall for a high-end hair dryer. They want to list it on Amazon US. The skill translates the full A+ layout: preserving the grid modules (e.g., the 3-image features matrix), writing clean English marketing copy, and generating precise image-text replacement briefs for their designer, ensuring brand consistency.
3. Adapting e-commerce materials for several Southeast Asian sites
A cross-border merchant wants to list a fashion accessory on Shopee Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand simultaneously. The skill asks about target site priorities, and generates a multi-site localization roadmap: detailing local currency settings, translating copy into Malaysian English and Thai, and specifying regional shipping and sizing charts.
4. Cleaning up un-localized, non-compliant listing images
A seller's listing is rejected because their infographic images contain foreign text or violate platform size rules. The skill scans the listing: flagging non-compliant image aspects, providing the exact translated text strings to replace the foreign copy, and specifying the correct pixel dimensions and file formats required for approval.
5. Automatically prompting for missing target locations
A user types a vague instruction: *"Need materials for several Southeast Asia sites"* without specifying where. The skill's context logic intercepts the request and prompts politely: *"To generate your localization blueprint, could you please specify: Which countries (e.g., Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore) are we targeting? And which platform are we uploading to?"* preventing inaccurate results.
Example Workflow
A merchant needs to localize a smart watch listing from Chinese to English for Amazon US.
1. They open EasyClaw and activate Material Localization.
2. They run: *"Localize this smart watch A+ content from Chinese to English for Amazon US."*
3. The skill retrieves Amazon US guidelines, translates the copy, and maps the layout.
4. It outputs the structured Material Localization Blueprint:
- Target Market Profile: High focus on battery life and fitness tracking in US copy.
- Translated Copy: Standard-compliant English titles, 5 bullets, and A+ text modules.
- Visual Briefs: Exact instructions for the graphic designer showing where to place the new English text nodes on the product banner files.
5. The merchant hands the blueprint directly to their design and listing teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What platforms and markets are supported?
The skill supports localization across 20 major international markets (US, CA, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP, SG, MY, PH, TH, ID, VN, and more) and 8 e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Tmall, Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, AliExpress, eBay, and Mercado Libre).
Does the skill edit the actual image files?
No. The skill is an advanced copy translator and visual designer assistant. It generates the translated copywriting, checks platform specifications, and provides a detailed visual layout and text-placement brief for your graphic designers or AI image tools.
What is the "unstructured profile resolution" rule?
If you request localization without details (e.g., "localize this product"), the skill's context logic will politely explain that it needs your target marketplace and platform parameters to deliver an accurate, compliant blueprint, preventing failed results.
Are my private product copies and brand strategies kept secure?
Yes. All data processing, translation, and file writes are executed entirely locally in your workspace session, ensuring your proprietary brand assets remain strictly confidential.
Can the skill translate and localize full-length HTML descriptions?
Yes. It can parse, translate, and re-structure your product descriptions, preserving any basic HTML layouts (such as paragraph breaks or bold text) required by your target listing dashboard.
How does the skill handle unit conversions?
The translation engine automatically converts metrics to match local market standards (e.g., converting Celsius to Fahrenheit for US markets, or pounds to kilograms for European markets) during the copywriting phase.
Can I export the translated listings?
Yes. The skill automatically writes your localized titles, bullets, and design briefs to standard CSV and Markdown files under `public/data/exports/` in your local workspace, ready for immediate upload.
Does the skill check for restricted or banned keywords?
Yes. It cross-references translated copies against local marketplace restricted-word directories (such as FDA-banned claims in the US or Advertising Law superlatives in China), flagging and correcting sensitive terms automatically.
Is an active internet connection required to run queries?
The core translation and specification checks can run offline using local assets. Internet connection is recommended to pull live, real-time search terminology trends for your target markets.
What is the default output file format?
Localization blueprints are written directly as clean, formatted Markdown (`.md`) files in your workspace, complete with organized tables and bullet lists, ready to print or copy.
