How it works

How to Translate Products to Romanian

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 Romanian

    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 Romanian-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

Romanian Product Information Checklist

Make sure your product data is complete and optimized for Romanian-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

Check one of your files first

Send us one product file as it comes from your supplier or ERP. We show you on your own rows what to fix before you translate it.

Culture and language

Romanian Culture and Language Insights

Understanding the local culture is key to successful product translations

Recommended Tone and Style

Use a Mixed tone with a respectful, clear, benefit-oriented, somewhat traditional style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • Importance of family and community values.
  • Strong appreciation for value for money, discounts, and promotions.
  • Brand trust and authenticity are crucial for consumer decisions.
  • Clear and direct communication about product features and benefits is highly valued.
  • Detailed product information and high-quality images are expected to compensate for the inability to physically inspect items.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using overly informal language or slang, which can be perceived as unprofessional.
  • Ignoring local holidays and cultural events in marketing campaigns, missing key sales opportunities.
  • Not offering popular local payment methods like Cash on Delivery (COD) or local bank transfers.
  • Directly translating content without cultural adaptation, leading to awkward or irrelevant messaging.

Translation tips

  • Use formal 'dumneavoastră' for general customer communication and business contexts, reserving 'tu' for very specific, informal, or youth-oriented campaigns.
  • Adapt currency (RON) and measurement units (metric system) to local standards for clarity and trust.
  • Ensure product descriptions are detailed, highlighting benefits and unique selling points, as Romanians value thorough information.
  • Localize all marketing copy, including calls to action, to resonate culturally and emotionally with the Romanian audience.
  • Pay close attention to the correct use of Romanian diacritics (ă, â, î, ș, ț) for professionalism and proper search engine indexing.

Localization

Localizing for Romanian-Speaking Customers

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

  • The metric system is used exclusively for all measurements: length in centimeters (cm) and meters (m), weight in grams (g) and kilograms (kg), and volume in milliliters (ml) and liters (l).
  • Clothing sizes primarily follow the European (EU) sizing system (e.g., women's 36-44, men's 48-56). Always provide a detailed size chart with measurements in cm for key body dimensions (bust, waist, hips) and optionally include EU-to-US/UK conversion.
  • Shoe sizes are based on the European (EU) system (e.g., 37, 38, 39). A conversion chart to UK/US sizes is beneficial for international brands.
  • Product weights are consistently listed in grams (g) for small items (e.g., cosmetics, spices) and kilograms (kg) for most other products (e.g., electronics, bulk food items).
  • Dimensions are typically expressed as Length x Width x Height in centimeters, for example: "Dimensiuni: 30 cm x 20 cm x 10 cm".

  • Date format is typically DD.MM.YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY. Example: 31.12.2025 or 31/12/2025. For formal contexts, 31 decembrie 2025 is used.
  • The decimal separator is a comma (,). Example: 123,45.
  • The thousand separator is a period (.). Example: 1.234.567.
  • Currency is Romanian Leu (RON). The symbol "lei" or "RON" follows the amount, often with a space. Example: 99,95 lei or 99,95 RON.
  • Time is expressed in 24-hour format. Example: 14:30 for 2:30 PM. The week starts on Monday.

  • Combine high-quality, professional studio shots for product details with authentic lifestyle photography that conveys warmth and relatability, often featuring families or small groups in natural settings.
  • Model representation should reflect the predominantly Caucasian population of Romania, featuring a diverse range of ages and realistic body types. Authenticity and relatability are key, avoiding overly photoshopped or unrealistic imagery.
  • Design aesthetics lean towards clean, modern layouts with a balanced use of whitespace. Avoid overly minimalist designs that might feel sparse; a moderate level of detail and color density is generally preferred.
  • Direct eye contact in imagery is generally acceptable and can foster trust. Group photos, especially those depicting family or friends enjoying a product, are well-received. Professional yet approachable attire is suitable for business contexts.
  • Subtly incorporate traditional Romanian motifs or natural landscapes when relevant to the product's heritage or craftsmanship. Avoid prominent religious symbols unless the product is specifically for religious purposes.

  • Red is universally recognized for sales, discounts, and urgency (e.g., "Reduceri!" for Sales!). Orange can also be effective for calls to action and special offers.
  • Blue strongly conveys trust, professionalism, and stability, making it ideal for financial services, technology, and corporate branding. Green also suggests reliability, nature, and freshness for products like organic food or health items.
  • Gold, silver, and deep shades of purple or black are associated with luxury, elegance, and premium quality. Darker blues and greens can also signify sophistication.
  • While black can denote luxury, it also carries associations with mourning in traditional contexts; use it carefully and balance with other colors. Brown can sometimes be perceived as dull or old-fashioned if not styled effectively.
  • The colors of the Romanian flag (blue, yellow, red) can subtly evoke national pride for locally produced goods. White symbolizes purity and cleanliness, often used for medical, hygiene, or wedding-related products.

Local SEO

Local SEO Tips for Romanian

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

  • Google dominates the Romanian search market with over 98% share; optimize exclusively for Google's algorithms.
  • Perform keyword research considering both queries with and without diacritics (ă, î, ș, ț, â), as users frequently omit them. Include local modifiers like "în [oraș]" (in [city]) or "ieftin [produs] [oraș]" (cheap [product] [city]).
  • Romanians generally prefer detailed, informative content. Structure content with clear headings (H1-H3), bullet points, and numbered lists for readability. A professional yet accessible tone is effective for e-commerce.
  • Build local backlinks through Romanian business directories such as Cylex.ro and PaginiAurii.ro. Also, seek partnerships with local news portals, industry-specific blogs, and relevant Romanian influencers for reviews or sponsored content.
  • Utilize a .ro ccTLD and local hosting within Romania for optimal local search performance and faster loading times. Ensure correct hreflang="ro-RO" implementation for international sites targeting Romania.
  • Optimize for mobile-first indexing and natural language voice search queries, as mobile usage is high. Focus on longer-tail, conversational keywords like "Unde pot cumpăra [produs] în [oraș]?" (Where can I buy [product] in [city]?).

FAQ

Romanian Product Translation FAQ

Common questions about translating products to Romanian

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.
