Right-to-Left Languages and Non-English Translations: Adopt-A-Page.

As you know, SellerLegend already supports multi-language screens. However, I’d understand if you’d be less than impressed if you are a non-English speaker and attempted to use the feature today, as all that is translated is the odd error message and the page navigation items at the top and the bottom of the page.

The reason for the poor state of affairs is because we’d need to translate all the screen contents into their corresponding languages, and that is a very tall order.

So, we thought you might want to help if you need such a translation facility for your own comfort. In a couple of weeks, we will be publishing a set of google sheets with all the screen column headings for each screen and would welcome your assistance to provide us with the translations in your preferred language.

To prevent the translation sheets being spammed, we will only make the sheets available to named volunteers. So, if you’d like to help, please let us know (as a comment below)

  • Your name,
  • Which page(s) you would be interested to translate and
  • Which language(s) you intend to help us with.

We will then send you a link to the specific page where you will be able to provide us with the translated text.

As we are seeing a large influx of sellers from Israel, we have now included support for Right-To-Left languages such as Hebrew. Here’s a view of such a screen. (Translation courtesy of Google Translate, so do not expect it to be accurate!)

Warehouses, Shipments and Suppliers

Starting mid-January, we intend to begin beta testing a significant piece of functionality which will allow Warehouse and Shipments management.

I have alluded to this in earlier teasers: it is essentially the ability to define as many external warehouses as you want, assign products to warehouses, allow for inter-warehouse shipments, status tracking of said shipments, assign suppliers to products, produce suppliers purchase orders define shipping plans, and keep all these moving parts in sync with your inventory forecasting and management portion of SL.

As we need to balance speed of testing against the effort of supporting the testing, we will be limiting the number of participants to 10. Five slots are already reserved for our white label partners so we would need 5 more of you to volunteer to achieve our goal.

The pre-requisite is that

  • You have at least 3 to 5 external warehouses and
  • No more than 50 suppliers

If you exceed that quota, you can still participate, but we’ll just limit your numbers for the beta testing.

We would need participants who have a decent number of shipments per month, as we’d like to complete the testing in no more than a month, if possible.

Interested? Please let us know.

Customer Lists Generation

We have just deployed two often-requested features to generate customer lists.

The two features are visible on your menu only if you have joined SellerLegend Labs (which is free), as these are still in beta and we anticipate you will want many refinements.

You will find the features on the Customers menu, sub-menu Customer Cross-Sell.

The screen is essentially a table showing a join between Customer Details and Order Details.

With the help of the Filters, this table allows you to perform complex searches and generate downloadable customer lists.

For example (but not limited to):

– All buyers who have bought ASIN X or Y
– All repeat buyers
– All buyers who have refunded for ASIN X
– All buyers who have ordered between two dates
– All buyers who have bought more than one product
– All buyers who have not ordered for the past 3 months
– All buyers who redeemed coupon code X
– All buyers within a specified ZIP code
– All buyers in a specific segmentation tier
– All buyers who had a discount between 20% and 50%
– All buyers who refunded on a specific date

And ANY COMBINATION of the above, to create COMPOUND searches, plus much, much more (you just need to play with the filters)

You can then elect to download the list of buyers with their products or download just a buyers list which can be imported directly into Facebook to generate custom audiences.

A Sprinkle of Featurettes

We have deployed today a few minor features (mainly change requests by users):

– The colored tiles in dashboards and Sales Statistics screen can now be toggled to be hidden or displayed. This is to make life easier for those who have laptops with small 13 inch displays and wish to see more data above the fold.

– In Orders screen, refunded orders are now highlighted in light yellow

– Upon change of password, you now have the option to automatically log off from any other devices which may be in a session

– Notifications: when clicking on the View link on any notification item, you are taken to the specific screen and specific item which is notified, rather than being taken to the specific screen but needing to search for the item

– On a failed subscription payment, your next login will take you to the payments screen and invite you to change your credit card details

– In Sales Statistics, the colored tiles now show orders and units as an integer rather than a decimal number
