CanadaSelling on amazon.ca
Canadian English sits between British and American spelling, French is accepted alongside it, and the country measures in metric.

What has to change
- Spelling is its own mix: "colour", "centre" and "grey" as in Britain, "aluminum" as in the US.
- English is the default listing language and French is accepted too. Canadian French is its own variety, not a copy of the French written for amazon.fr.
- Prices are in Canadian dollars, and Canada is officially metric, so a 5 kg scale stays 5 kg.
What a translator gets wrong
Treating Canada as either the US or the UK. A spell checker set to either one "corrects" half of a Canadian listing.
The same title, both ways

On amazon.ca
Nordhaus Digital Kitchen Scale 5 kg, Stainless Steel, Grey
Grey as in Britain, while the same listing keeps the American "aluminum" in its bullets.
