Each scan gives a readiness score per language and a prioritized issue list linked to Translate & Adapt, plus a CSV export for your translator.

- Turn literal translations into natural product descriptions
- Preserve product specs, sizing, and key details during localization
- Create market-ready listings for different regions and languages
- Readiness score per market so you know go or no-go before launch
- Issues grouped by impact, linked straight to the product in admin
- Read-only permissions — your content and customers stay untouched
- CSV work list with direct links to fix every affected resource
