Option to disable automatic translations of announcement titles | eBay forums

Hello, If an eBay employee reads this, please do what’s necessary so that an option is added on eBay websites to give users the ability to disable automatic translations of listing titles. I’ve browsed several forums in multiple languages and read many messages from people all over the world who have been asking, since 2017 already, for this option to be added on eBay websites, but the option still isn’t there. Why? It’s all the more incomprehensible because this disable option has already existed since 2019 on the mobile app! It’s high time it was finally added to eBay’s web versions, don’t you think? Because your automatic translations simply do not work properly: brand names are translated, words are translated without taking into account the specific context of the item being sold, the syntax of the source language is often kept as-is, without adapting to the syntax of the target language... there are many examples of failures in your automatic translation system. So let users who don’t mind use this system but, for heaven’s sake, let those who don’t want it have the very simple option to disable it. Thank you.
