How it works

How to Translate Products to Ukrainian

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 Ukrainian

    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 Ukrainian-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

Ukrainian Product Information Checklist

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

Ukrainian 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, Empathetic, Direct, Reliable style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • Patriotism and national identity are very strong, especially now. Avoid anything that could be perceived as disrespectful or neutral regarding the current conflict.
  • Family values and community are central. Marketing can subtly appeal to these.
  • Direct and clear communication is appreciated, but always with respect.
  • Value for money is important, as is quality and durability.
  • Historical context and cultural heritage are significant; be mindful of references.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using Russian language or cultural references interchangeably with Ukrainian.
  • Ignoring the current geopolitical situation or appearing insensitive.
  • Overly informal tone in professional contexts.
  • Lack of local payment options.

Translation tips

  • Prioritize human translation and localization to capture nuances, especially given the current sensitivity and national pride.
  • Ensure all content, including marketing materials and customer service, is available in Ukrainian.
  • Adapt currency to UAH and use local date/time formats (DD.MM.YYYY).
  • Be mindful of regional variations in dialect, although standard Ukrainian is widely understood.
  • Verify cultural appropriateness of images and symbols.

Shipping Expectations

Customers expect fast and reliable delivery, often with options for pickup points (Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta) or courier services. Cash on delivery is still popular for trust reasons.

Localization

Localizing for Ukrainian-Speaking Customers

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

  • Ukraine exclusively uses the metric system. All measurements for length, weight, and volume should be presented in meters, centimeters, millimeters, kilograms, grams, and liters.
  • Clothing sizes generally follow the European (EU) sizing standard (e.g., 36, 38, 40). It is highly recommended to provide a detailed size chart with corresponding body measurements in centimeters (cm) for chest, waist, and hips.
  • Shoe sizes are typically presented using the European (EU) sizing system (e.g., 37, 38, 39). Displaying the corresponding foot length in centimeters (cm) is also very helpful for customers.
  • Product weights should be listed in kilograms (kg) for larger items and grams (g) for smaller products. For example, a laptop might be 1.8 kg, while a bag of coffee could be 250 g.
  • Dimensions for products are usually listed in the order of Length x Width x Height (ДxШxВ) and specified in centimeters (cm). For example, a package might be described as 30 x 20 x 10 cm.

  • Dates are commonly formatted as DD.MM.YYYY. For example, December 31, 2025, would be displayed as 31.12.2025.
  • The decimal separator is a comma (,). For example, one hundred twenty-three hryvnias and forty-five kopecks would be written as 123,45.
  • The thousand separator is a non-breaking space ( ). For example, one million two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven would be written as 1 234 567. For currency, this would be 1 234 567,89 ₴.
  • The Ukrainian Hryvnia (₴) is the national currency. The symbol ₴ or the abbreviation 'грн' is typically placed after the amount, often with a non-breaking space. For example, 99,95 ₴ or 99,95 грн.
  • Time is expressed using the 24-hour format. For example, 2:30 PM would be displayed as 14:30. The week starts on Monday.

  • Opt for high-quality, professional photography that combines detailed product shots with authentic lifestyle imagery. Ukrainian consumers appreciate seeing products in realistic, relatable settings rather than overly staged or artificial scenes.
  • Model representation should reflect the local population, featuring diverse age groups and body types that appear healthy and approachable. Authenticity and relatability are key; models should look natural and not overly airbrushed.
  • Clean, modern design aesthetics with ample whitespace are preferred. Avoid overly ornate or cluttered designs, which can be perceived as outdated or unprofessional. Simplicity and functionality in design are highly valued.
  • Direct eye contact from models is generally well-received and conveys sincerity and trustworthiness. Images featuring individuals or small groups (e.g., families, friends) interacting naturally with the product tend to resonate well.
  • Be mindful of cultural sensitivities, especially regarding national symbols or historical events. While traditional Ukrainian motifs (like Vyshyvanka patterns) can be tastefully incorporated for culturally relevant products, avoid their generic use in modern e-commerce contexts unless specifically appropriate.

  • Red (червоний) is widely used for sales, discounts, and urgent calls to action, signaling a good deal or limited-time offer. It effectively captures attention in e-commerce banners and buttons.
  • Blue (синій) is a strong color for conveying trust, reliability, and professionalism. It is often used by banks, insurance companies, and technology firms, making it suitable for security badges, guarantees, and corporate branding.
  • Gold (золотий), silver (срібний), and black (чорний) are associated with premium quality, luxury, and sophistication. These colors are effective for products in high-end categories like jewelry, electronics, or fashion, suggesting exclusivity and superior craftsmanship.
  • Green (зелений) often symbolizes nature, health, growth, and eco-friendliness. It can be effectively used for products related to organic food, sustainable living, or well-being, conveying freshness and naturalness.
  • Avoid using overly dark or somber color palettes excessively, as they can sometimes be associated with mourning or seriousness, potentially creating a less inviting shopping experience. While black can be luxurious, balance it with brighter accents.

Local SEO

Local SEO Tips for Ukrainian

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

  • Prioritize Google SEO as it holds over 90% of the search market share in Ukraine. Yandex is banned and should not be a focus.
  • Perform extensive keyword research in both Ukrainian and Russian, as many users still search in Russian, especially for product names or technical terms. Include local modifiers like "купити [товар] Київ" (buy [product] Kyiv) or "доставка по Україні" (delivery across Ukraine) to capture regional demand.
  • Content should be detailed and informative, often including comprehensive product specifications, user manuals, and genuine customer reviews. While concise content has its place, Ukrainian consumers appreciate thoroughness for significant purchases.
  • Focus on local link building by seeking partnerships with popular Ukrainian news portals (e.g., Korrespondent.net, Obozrevatel.com), local business directories, and reputable industry-specific Ukrainian blogs or forums. Classifieds sites like OLX.ua can also be valuable for local visibility.
  • Ensure your website is optimized for mobile-first indexing, as mobile usage for e-commerce is exceptionally high in Ukraine. Implement Ukrainian-specific hreflang tags (uk-UA) and consider hosting your website on servers within Ukraine or neighboring countries for faster loading times.
  • Optimize for voice search by identifying natural language queries and common questions related to your products in Ukrainian, such as "скільки коштує [товар]?" (how much does [product] cost?) or "де купити [товар] недорого?" (where to buy [product] cheaply?).

Ukrainian Product Translation FAQ

Common questions about translating products to Ukrainian

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.
