Amazon MWS: how to specify the language _GET_MERCHANT_LISTINGS_DATA_

Question

I recently tried to get all Amazon listings from multiple marketplaces using ReportType : _GET_MERCHANT_LISTINGS_DATA_ .

For MarketplaceIds

• A1PA6795UKMFR9 (DE)
• A1RKKUPIHCS9HS (ES)
• A1F83G8C2ARO7P (UK)

The response columns were as follows:

 item-name item-description listing-id seller-sku price quantity open-date image-url item-is-marketplace product-id-type zshop-shipping-fee item-note item-condition zshop-category1 zshop-browse-path zshop-storefront- feature asin1 asin2 asin3 will-ship-internationally expedited-shipping zshop-boldface product-id bid-for-featured-placement add-delete pending-quantity fulfillment-channel 

English and (!) asin1 is available. For the A13V1IB3VIYZZH (FR) market, Amazon responds with a different result:

 nom-article réf-offre sku-vendeur prix quantité date-offre type-réf-produit remarque-article état-article livrable-monde livraison-eclair réf-produit quantité-en-attente Canal de traitement 

no asinX . What for? Does anyone know how to specify a language for reports?

Answer 1

Amazon statement after opening the case: “[...] I’m sorry to inform you that the French active listing report was set up differently to be more understandable to most sellers in French, as most of them have difficulty understanding English. [...] "

Answer 2

we are facing the same problem with the Amazon API.

The _GET_MERCHANT_LISTINGS_DATA_ reports for DE, UK, and IT are consistent, but FR is completely different.

In addition, we get very strange identifiers from the French report. Completely different from the standard ASIN (longer). The identifier can be used to search the storefront and search for the product with its correct ASIN, but it does not work in the sales center.

Answer 3

To request reports to be translated into your local default language, log into the Central seller’s system and select "Settings"> "Account Information"> "Channel Processing Report Language"> "Localized" (the report will be translated into the local default language). After you enable this option, both the headers and the contents of the reports will be translated. This option is available on all trading floors except the USA and Canada.
