API translates my listings into German
Closed this issue · 4 comments
new eBayApi({
appId: config.eBay.clientID,
certId: config.eBay.clientSecret,
sandbox: false,
siteId: eBayApi.SiteId.EBAY_GB,
scope: [
"https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope",
],
acceptLanguage: "en-GB",
contentLanguage: ContentLanguage.en_GB,
});
this.ebay.oAuth2.getClientAccessToken()`
This is how I initialize the API wrapper. Later I call
let item = await this.ebay.buy.browse.getItemByLegacyId({
legacy_item_id: itemID,
});
This query works, but the title of the listing is translated into German from English.
For example. the title Samsung SMT-C7100/C7101 500GB Boxed with Remote Control NEW
becomes Samsung smt-c7100/c7101 500gb boxed mit Fernbedienung NEU
but the description remains in English. Also, some details such as condition are also translated into German, such as condition, neu
. The price is also converted into Euros.
Help with this would be appreciated.
Didn't check, but try to set also the marketplaceId
:
new eBayApi({
appId: config.eBay.clientID,
certId: config.eBay.clientSecret,
sandbox: false,
siteId: eBayApi.SiteId.EBAY_GB,
marketplaceId: eBayApi.MarketplaceId.EBAY_GB,
scope: [
"https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope",
],
acceptLanguage: "en-GB",
contentLanguage: ContentLanguage.en_GB,
});
Yep, that worked. Still can't understand why it chose German. Thanks a bunch!
Because this API is heavily used and developed by German merchant :)
I'll explaint this more in documentation and maybe it would be better to to set US/GB as default...
Ah I see. It could be more preferable to not have a default and force the user to specify their own?
