Is there an English Taobao site? The answer is no. Due to Taobao’s market positioning, there is no English site available. This can lead to a decreased experience for foreigners shopping on Taobao due to the language barrier. In a previous article, “Can I use Taobao in English?”, we discussed using various translation tools to shop on Taobao.
Today, we aim to compile the most comprehensive guide to basic operations on Taobao, providing a reference in both Chinese and English. Through this article, we hope to create a virtual “English Taobao site” experience, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Conclusion
Above, we have tried to translate some of the commonly used Chinese terms from Taobao into English. Given the vast amount of Chinese involved on the Taobao website, it’s impossible to translate everything. Additionally, Taobao is constantly updating its platform, so it’s possible that these interfaces may change after a while. Therefore, if you encounter Chinese terms while shopping or placing orders and do not understand their meaning, we highly recommend using translation tools to assist you in shopping on Taobao.
