Bilingual PDF labels for export: choosing language packs for buyers

PDF language in TradeDocs means fixed layout field labels (Description, Quantity, Total) — not auto-translation of your product names or addresses. English default suits most international buyers; bilingual helps Chinese clients or internal archiving.

When to use each pack

EN: Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa. ZH: buyer requires Chinese labels. ZH-EN bilingual: Chinese distributors, HK/MO/TW, internal records. ES/FR/PT/RU: localized labels for those regions — product names stay as you entered.

What is never translated

Company EN name, product names, specs, addresses, remarks, contract addenda — never machine-translated. Avoid confusing mixes; pick one primary language for line descriptions internally.

Preview matches PDF

Switch PDF language on the deal — preview and download use the same label pack. Confirm language and theme in preview before sending to avoid re-downloads.
