Translate Your Bags & Purses Etsy Listings to Russian
Russian-speaking buyers — ~150 million native speakers worldwide — search for bag in Russian, not English. Your “Waxed Canvas Tote Bag, Leather Strap Everyday Carryall” never surfaces for those queries until it exists in Russian. Bags combine fashion search behavior with practical spec-checking — dimensions, straps, closures, laptop fit. Both halves localize: style vocabulary differs by market, and metric-first buyers need centimeters before inches.

Why Russian needs more than word-for-word
Cyrillic keywords, entirely separate index
Кольцо (ring), подарок (gift), ручная работа (handmade) — Russian queries run in Cyrillic and match zero English listings. Translation doesn't improve your English ranking; it creates rankings where you had none.
Six cases shape every phrase
Russian declension changes word endings by grammatical role: подарок для мамы (gift for mom), кольцо с камнем (ring with stone). Dictionary-form-only translation is instantly recognizable as machine output.

Start translatingFrequently asked questions
Do measurements get localized too?
Descriptions keep your specs but lead with the units your buyer thinks in — centimeters for European and Japanese buyers. 'Fits a 15-inch laptop' also becomes locally meaningful phrasing rather than a raw conversion.
Who actually shops Etsy in Russian?
A large global diaspora: Russian speakers in Germany, Israel, the US, the Baltics and Central Asia. They browse Etsy with Russian language settings, and listings translated into Russian are shown to all of them.
How much does it cost to translate bag listings to Russian?
One listing — title, description and all 13 tags, published to Etsy — costs 100 credits, from $0.90 on the Starter pack. No subscription, credits never expire.
Will the Russian version replace my English listing?
No. Etsy stores each translation alongside your original — Russian-speaking buyers see the Russian version, everyone else sees your English listing, and nothing gets overwritten.
