Amazon Seller Central Report Localization

The Amazon listings reports support a user configuring the activation of a default local language. However, we do not support this capability. If you have activated the translation of reports into a default local language, we will not be able to process this data.

If Localization is enabled both the headers and the contents of reports will be translated. For example, here is a header that is localized:

['artikelbezeichnung', 'artikelbeschreibung', 'angebotsnummer', 'händler_sku', 'preis', 'menge', 'erstellungsdatum', 'artikel_ist_marketplace_angebot', 'produkt_id_typ', 'anmerkung_zum_artikel', 'artikelzustand', 'asin_1', 'internationaler_versand', 'expressversand', 'produkt_id', 'hinzufügen_löschen', 'anzahl_bestellungen', 'versender', 'händlerversandgruppe', 'mindestbestellmenge', 'restposten_verkaufen']

As a result, localized reports will not be processed.

While we understand the desire for localization, the complexities it introduces can introduce increased errors.

The reason for this is the complexity related to a user setting that can switch on or offer sweeping changes to schemas and the underlying data. It may also create conflicts with naming conventions and standards set by data warehouses or data lake vendors. This not unlike the Aviation industry, which uses a baseline to ensure interoperability (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_English)

To check your settings, log into Seller Central and select Settings > Account Info > Feed Processing Report Language > Localized (report will be translated into default local language). Make sure this setting is NOT enabled.

This is a list of some of the impacted feeds. This is not exhaustive, simply a collection of reports that can be impacted by localization:
