Amazon Seller App Now Supports Arabic Language on Mobile
Amazon has released full Arabic UI for the Seller mobile app on iOS and Android as of February 2024. The update adds a one‑tap language switch in Settings, with the app size under 50 MB, and instantly translates all menus, inventory, orders and buyer‑message screens.
Overview
Amazon has rolled out full Arabic language support for its Seller mobile app on both iOS and Android platforms. The update enables Arabic‑speaking merchants to run their Amazon businesses—from inventory checks to customer messages—entirely in their native language on a smartphone. Sellers on Amazon.sa and Amazon.ae should act quickly to activate the new option and streamline daily operations.
Key Points
- Complete Arabic UI — Every navigation pane, menu label, and core function now appears in Arabic, allowing users to tap through the app without switching to English. For example, the “Orders” tab is labeled “الطلبات,” matching the language of the seller’s dashboard.
- Core features translated — Listing creation, inventory management, pricing tools, and the buyer‑message inbox are all accessible in Arabic. A seller in Riyadh can draft a new product entry, adjust stock levels, and reply to a customer query all within the same Arabic interface.
- One‑tap language switch — The language can be changed from the Settings menu, and the modification takes effect instantly across the entire app. A vendor who prefers English for certain tasks can revert with a single tap, and the change propagates without needing to log out.
- Cross‑marketplace consistency — The selected language applies to every marketplace the seller manages, whether they operate on Amazon.sa, Amazon.ae, or other regions. A merchant selling in both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will see Arabic menus regardless of the marketplace currently displayed.
- App‑only setting – The Arabic option is confined to the mobile app; it does not alter the language of the web‑based Seller Central portal. Sellers who want Arabic on both platforms must adjust preferences separately in the browser dashboard.
- No impact on listing content – While the interface translates, product titles, descriptions, and buyer messages retain the language in which they were originally entered. A seller must still localize listings manually to reach Arabic‑speaking shoppers effectively.
- Immediate availability – The update is live for the latest version on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, requiring no additional downloads beyond the standard app update.
