How it works

How to Translate Products to Galician

Get your product catalog translated and ready to sell in three simple steps

  1. 01

    Import your products

    Connect your e-commerce platform or upload your catalog as a file. WISEPIM takes over titles, descriptions, attributes and categories.

  2. 02

    AI translates to Galician

    The AI translates your catalog with your glossary, your protected terms and your instructions per market. Numbers, units and model numbers stay as they are.

  3. 03

    Review and publish

    Review the translations and publish them to your sales channels. That way you reach Galician-speaking customers without going through an agency.

Example

One article: what changes, what stays

An example from a sanitary catalog. Texts and option values are translated. Numbers, units and article numbers stay exactly as they are.

One article: what changes, what stays
Product nameThermostatic shower mixer, surface-mounted, DN 15, chromeTranslated, with the terms from your glossary
Material (option value)BrassTranslated once for every product with this value
Connection1/2"Stays 1/2"
Flow rate22 l/minStays 22 l/min
Article numberTB-4415-CRStays TB-4415-CR (protected term)

In a Catalog Jobs translation run, a text whose numbers, units or protected terms do not match the source waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Checklist

Galician Product Information Checklist

Make sure your product data is complete and optimized for Galician-speaking customers

Product Content

  • Build titles in the order your channel expects: brand, product type, key spec, model
  • Keep article numbers, EANs and model codes untranslated as protected terms
  • Use one term per concept across the whole catalog, set in your glossary
  • Translate safety notes and claims exactly, and never add new ones
  • Check that bullet points name the same specs as the source

Attributes and Specifications

  • Translate option values once per attribute, not per product
  • Keep spec values identical: DN 15, 1/2" and 22 l/min stay as they are
  • Write decimals and thousands the way the target market does
  • Mark brand and series names as never translate
  • Check units the market writes differently, without changing the value

SEO and Discoverability

  • Keep meta titles under 60 and meta descriptions under 160 characters
  • Use the search terms buyers in the market use, not literal translations
  • Translate the alt text of your images
  • Map your categories to the category names of the market
  • Set hreflang tags for every language version

Culture and language

Galician Culture and Language Insights

Understanding the local culture is key to successful product translations

Recommended Tone and Style

Use a Mixed tone with a friendly, respectful, community-oriented, authentic style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • There is a strong regional identity and pride in the Galician language and culture.
  • Emphasis on local products, traditions, and craftsmanship often resonates well.
  • Personal relationships and trust are important in business interactions.
  • Family values and community ties are central, influencing purchasing decisions and brand loyalty.
  • While part of Spain, Galicians appreciate content that acknowledges their unique heritage.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming Spanish (Castilian) localization is sufficient; ignoring the distinct Galician language and cultural nuances.
  • Using generic marketing messages that do not reflect the specific Galician identity.
  • Failing to recognize the importance of local events and festivities in marketing calendars.
  • Overly formal or distant communication that does not build rapport.

Translation tips

  • Engage native Galician speakers for translation and localization to ensure cultural and linguistic accuracy.
  • Adapt content to reflect specific Galician cultural nuances, local traditions, and regional humor, rather than direct translation from Spanish.
  • Use appropriate regional vocabulary and expressions that resonate with the Galician audience, avoiding Castilian-centric terms.
  • Maintain a friendly, authentic, and respectful tone that builds trust and connection with the local community.
  • Ensure SEO keywords are localized to Galician to improve visibility in regional searches.

Localization

Localizing for Galician-Speaking Customers

Translation is just the start. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.

  • The metric system is exclusively used for all measurements. Lengths are in centimeters (cm) and meters (m), weights in grams (g) and kilograms (kg), and volumes in milliliters (ml) and liters (l).
  • Clothing sizes primarily follow the European (EU) sizing system. For women, this means sizes like 34, 36, 38, 40. For men, sizes like 46, 48, 50, 52. S/M/L equivalents are also common but should be accompanied by numerical sizes.
  • Shoe sizes are exclusively expressed using the European (EU) sizing system (e.g., 37, 38, 39, 40).
  • Product weights for small items like food or cosmetics are typically in grams (g) or milliliters (ml). Larger items such as electronics or furniture are measured in kilograms (kg).
  • Dimensions are typically presented in centimeters, in the order of length x width x height (Largo x Ancho x Alto, or L x A x P for Profundo). For example: '120 cm x 80 cm x 40 cm'.

  • Date format is typically DD/MM/YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY. For example, '31/12/2025' or '31.12.2025'. When written out, it's '31 de decembro de 2025'.
  • The decimal separator is a comma (,). For example, '123,45'.
  • The thousand separator is a period (.). For example, '1.234.567'.
  • Currency is the Euro (€). The symbol typically follows the number, separated by a non-breaking space. For example, '99,95 €'.
  • Time is generally expressed in 24-hour format. For example, '14:30' for 2:30 PM. The week starts on Monday.

  • Authentic lifestyle photography featuring real people in natural Galician settings (e.g., coastal landscapes, historic cityscapes like Santiago de Compostela, rural areas) resonates strongly. Avoid overly staged or artificial studio shots.
  • Models should reflect the local Galician population – generally Caucasian, with diverse age groups and natural appearances. Relatability and genuine expressions are valued over hyper-polished, generic model looks.
  • Design aesthetics lean towards clean, modern, and uncluttered layouts with ample whitespace. While vibrant colors can be used, the overall impression should be harmonious and not overwhelming. Earthy tones, blues reflecting the Atlantic, and greens of the Galician landscape are often appreciated.
  • Direct eye contact in imagery is generally acceptable and can convey sincerity and trust. Both individual portraits and group shots depicting genuine interaction and community are well-received.
  • Integrate subtle cultural elements that evoke Galician identity respectfully, such as references to the Camino de Santiago (e.g., scallop shell, 'cruceiros'), traditional architecture (like 'hórreos'), or the lush green landscapes and Atlantic coast. Avoid clichés or caricatures.

  • Red is widely recognized and effective for sales, discounts, and urgent calls to action. It strongly signals promotions and attention-grabbing offers.
  • Blue is a highly trusted color, frequently used by banks and institutions to convey professionalism, stability, and reliability. It is an excellent choice for building customer confidence in e-commerce.
  • Gold, silver, and black are classic choices for indicating premium quality, luxury, and exclusivity. Deep purples can also signify richness and sophistication.
  • Green, often associated with the lush Galician landscape, can evoke feelings of nature, freshness, health, and also safety or approval. It can be particularly effective for eco-friendly or natural products.
  • While black is often associated with elegance and sophistication, it also carries connotations of mourning and formality. Use it carefully in contexts where these negative associations might be inadvertently evoked.

Local SEO

Local SEO Tips for Galician

Optimize your product content for search engines in Galician-speaking markets

  • Prioritize Google, as it dominates the search engine market in Spain (including Galicia) with over 95% share. Optimize for Google's algorithms.
  • Conduct specific keyword research for Galician terms. While many Galician speakers search in Spanish for broader commercial terms, use Galician for highly localized products/services and place names (e.g., 'roupa infantil A Coruña' instead of 'ropa infantil La Coruña', 'agasallos orixinais Santiago' instead of 'regalos originales Santiago').
  • Integrate 'cerca de min' (near me) equivalents in Galician for voice and mobile search optimization, such as 'tendas de roupa cerca de min' (clothing stores near me).
  • For local link building, target Galician-specific news outlets (e.g., Praza Pública, Sermos Galiza), local blogs, cultural associations, and regional business directories that support Galician content. Sponsoring local Galician events can also generate valuable local links.
  • Implement hreflang="gl-ES" for your Galician content pages, alongside hreflang="es-ES" for Spanish versions, to correctly signal language and region to search engines. A subdirectory like /gl/ on a .es domain is a common and effective approach.
  • Content should be well-structured with clear headings (H1, H2, H3), bullet points, and concise paragraphs to enhance readability, balancing informative content with an approachable, conversational tone preferred by Galician users.

FAQ

Galician Product Translation FAQ

Common questions about translating products to Galician

WISEPIM translates with the glossary and do-not-translate terms from your Knowledge Library, so product names and fixed terms come out the way you set them. It handles product descriptions, technical specifications, and sales copy. It typically delivers 95%+ accuracy. You can review and edit every translation before publishing, and reviewer feedback can become new glossary terms and settings for the next run.

It depends on the size of your catalog and the number of languages. Bulk translations run in the background as a job, so you can keep working, and you get a notification when the results are ready to review. Before you start, a free preview shows how many texts per language need translating and what the run costs in credits.

Yes, within the rules you set. The AI adapts tone, wording and formatting to the target market, and you steer it per project with a glossary of fixed translations, words that are never translated (brand names, model codes) and your own instructions. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, every new translation is checked for kept numbers and units, protected terms, intact HTML and length limits, and a text that fails waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Yes, if you turn on SEO optimization in your translation settings. Meta titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords are then written for search in the target language, with natural keyword placement and the original meaning kept. With it off, they are translated faithfully at a similar length. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, meta titles over 60 characters and meta descriptions over 160 go to the Review queue.

Yes, you have full control. You can edit any translated content directly in WISEPIM and push the changes to your connected sales channels. If you update the original product description, you choose whether to translate it again or keep your manual edits. On paid plans, the operation history lets you undo changes at any time.

Translation runs on credits. A standard translation of one product into one language costs one credit, and a higher-quality tier costs more per product. Before every run, a free preview shows how many texts per language will be translated and how many credits the run takes, so you can start with one category.

Yes. WISEPIM translates from your project's main language, so your source data does not have to be in English. You pick the target languages for each run.

Push it to a connected shop, export it as a file or feed from Feed Hub, or share a read-only Brand Portal in the languages you choose. Dealers browse it, download the data or import it into their own WISEPIM.
