Automatic translation

[emspy12]

Hello, I’m hoping someone can help explain how to turn off the automatic translation of messages. I can’t get the automatic assistant to pass me onto a human agent to discuss my automatic translation problems (!)

eBay don't have auto translate.  Try your browser settings.

Unless your account was originally Registered outside the UK ?, there is no automatic translation required.    Should a message translation be required, Google translate is excellent >

Hi, thanks, but this is definitely from within the eBay messaging system. I should have provided more detail on what’s happening: I sometimes buy off ebay.fr <>, ebay.de <> and so on. My French is good as I use it for work. However, ebay then provides an unnecessary translation of the messages I get from sellers into English, which is confusing and not always accurate. This is a very recent phenomenon and appears linked to the creep of AI.

Some EU registered accounts supply a basic translation service on their sites --- stick with Google translate.
