Selling on amazon.nl

Dutch welds nouns together the way German does, so the usual machine translation error here is the opposite one: splitting a word that should stay whole.

What has to change

  • Compounds stay compounds. A kitchen scale is a "keukenweegschaal", one word. "Keuken weegschaal" is wrong and it is not what gets typed into the search box.
  • The compound IS the search term, so breaking it costs the listing its main keyword rather than just reading badly.
  • English terms are in ordinary use in some categories and leaving one in place can be right. That is a judgement per product, not a rule.

What a translator gets wrong

A split compound. It still reads as Dutch, so nothing looks broken, and the title no longer contains the word people search.

The same title, both ways

Before

Nordhaus Digitale Küchenwaage 5 kg, Edelstahl

On amazon.nl

Nordhaus Digitale keukenweegschaal 5 kg van roestvrij staal

The compound survived as one word, which is the part a translator usually gets wrong.
