TurkeySelling on amazon.com.tr
Turkey prices in lira, and Turkish has two letter i's and builds meaning with suffixes, which is where translated listings quietly break.

What has to change
- Prices are in Turkish lira, not euro.
- Turkish has a dotted "i" and a dotless "ı", and they are different letters. Their capitals are "İ" and "I", so "dijital" in capitals is "DİJİTAL", not "DIJITAL".
- Words take suffixes instead of separate words. A kitchen scale is "mutfak tartısı": the "-sı" ending ties the scale to the kitchen.
What a translator gets wrong
Letter case handled by English rules. Lowercasing "TARTISI" that way gives "tartisi" instead of "tartısı", which is a different word to a Turkish reader.
The same title, both ways
Before
Nordhaus Digitale Küchenwaage 5 kg, Edelstahl
On amazon.com.tr
Nordhaus Dijital Mutfak Tartısı 5 kg, Paslanmaz Çelik
"Tartısı" carries two dotless ı's and a suffix, and both have to survive every copy and paste.
