For cross-border e-commerce sellers, 1688 is an essential sourcing platform, especially for dropshipping and OEM/ODM businesses. After selecting products on 1688, sellers typically need to contact the manufacturer directly to obtain product images provided by the manufacturer. These images usually include main images,spec images and detailed images.However, for sellers who wish to sell these products in overseas markets, most of the images provided by 1688 are in Chinese, presenting a significant language challenge.
Manually image translation
Before AI tools, many cross-border e-commerce sellers relied on manual processes to modify 1688 product images. Common practices included:
Image extraction plugins + manual translation: Sellers use plugins to extract 1688 product images, then use translation tools to translate the text manually, followed by editing the images.
Using design tools: Tools like Photoshop or Canva were used to manually cover the Chinese text and add translated content, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
Re-shooting or designing images: Some sellers chose to completely discard the original images, re-shoot, or redesign the images. This not only consumes a lot of time but also increases design costs.
