Automatic Translations: Your Part Requests Now Reach All of Europe
Language barriers are a thing of the past. hank now automatically translates your part request descriptions into all supported languages.
The Problem: Europe Speaks Many Languages
When you create a part request on hank, sellers from all over Europe can see it. The scrapyard in Spain that has exactly your part in stock. The specialist in Poland who focuses on your vehicle. The parts dealer in the Netherlands with a massive warehouse.
But what happens when you write your request in German and the perfect seller only speaks Spanish?
Until now: Tough luck. The seller scrolls past because they don't understand what you're looking for.
The Solution: Automatic Translations
From now on, hank automatically translates all part request descriptions into 7 languages:
- English (en)
- German (de)
- Spanish (es)
- French (fr)
- Italian (it)
- Dutch (nl)
- Polish (pl)
Just write in your native language. hank detects the language automatically and creates translations for all other supported languages. Sellers see your request in their preferred language - completely automatically.
How It Works
- Create your part request as usual
- Write the description in your language - as detailed as you like
- hank translates automatically - all translations are available within seconds
- Sellers see your request in their language
On your part request's detail page, you'll see a "Show original" / "Show translated" link. This lets you switch between the original and translated version at any time.
Why This Matters
Europe is a huge market for car parts. In the seven countries whose languages we support alone, over 350 million people live. Many of them have exactly the part you're looking for - but until now, they might not have understood your request.
With automatic translations, you get:
- More potential sellers - your request is understandable to everyone
- Faster offers - no language barrier slowing down communication
- Better offers - more competition among sellers means better prices for you
For Sellers
As a seller, you benefit too: You see all requests in your language and never miss an opportunity just because the buyer speaks a different language.
Try It Out
Create your next part request and write the description in your language. hank takes care of the rest.
Happy hanking!
