AI can translate your listing — it cannot stop Amazon DE from suppressing it
Generic AI translation tools do not check whether your listing will be suppressed or suspended on Amazon DE. ListLoco's deterministic gates do: banned words, GPSR required info, title character limits, preserved model numbers / numerals / units, and back-translation divergence — checked rule-by-rule, not by a model that can hallucinate. Fix violations before you upload, not after Amazon Germany pulls your listing.

Title character limit
Amazon DE enforces a 200-character title limit for most categories. Titles that exceed this are suppressed before they ever go live.
Banned & restricted words
Absolute claims (bestseller, garantiert), superlatives (beste, perfekt), and health/medical efficacy terms (heilung, antibakteriell) are disallowed on Amazon Germany and trigger listing suppression or suspension.
GPSR required info (API only)
EU GPSR requires responsible person contact info and safety warnings on applicable products. Missing this is a suppression cause on Amazon Germany. Checked in the full ListLoco API pipeline.
Model numbers, numerals & units (API only)
Generic AI translation silently corrupts model numbers and unit values (AB-1200 → AB-9999, 8.5 kg → 9 kg). The ListLoco API preserves every hard fact deterministically, blocking suppression from spec corruption.
Back-translation divergence (API only)
A back-translation gate re-translates the German output to English and checks for semantic drift. Listings that drift too far from the original meaning are flagged before they reach Amazon Germany.
Why machine translation fails
Generic MT engines routinely introduce banned terms when translating
marketing copy — guaranteed becomes garantiert,
best becomes beste. The ListLoco API detects and blocks these before
they reach the marketplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Amazon DE Listing Checker check?
It checks two things: (1) whether your product title exceeds Amazon Germany's 200-character limit, and (2) whether your title or description contains restricted banned words that trigger listing suppression.
Why do Amazon Germany product listings get suppressed?
Amazon DE suppresses listings that violate platform rules — for example, titles over 200 characters or listings that include restricted terms like garantiert, bestseller, or health-claim language. Suppressed listings are removed from search results until the violations are corrected.
What is the title character limit for Amazon Germany?
Amazon Germany enforces a 200-character title limit for most product categories. Titles longer than 200 characters are removed from search results and cannot be published until shortened.
Do I need an account or API key to use this tool?
No. This checker runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No account, no API key, and no product data is sent to any server.
How is this tool different from the ListLoco API?
This free checker detects obvious violations in existing text. The ListLoco API runs the full localization pipeline: English-to-German translation, model-number and unit preservation, glossary enforcement, and a back-translation quality gate — returning a marketplace-style compliant German listing from a single API call.
Category-specific compliance questions
What compliance risks are most common for electronics listings on Amazon DE?
Documented risk factors for electronics listings on Amazon DE include missing GPSR responsible-person info, titles exceeding 200 characters, and banned terms like garantiert or CE-zertifiziert garantiert. This tool pre-checks for documented text-policy signals; it does not replicate Amazon's full listing review process.
Which terms are restricted in cosmetics and beauty listings on Amazon DE?
Documented restricted terms for cosmetics and beauty listings on Amazon DE include antibakteriell, antiviral, heilung, and health-efficacy language. This tool pre-checks these signals in titles and descriptions. For GPSR and back-translation checks, the full API pipeline runs additional gates.
Are health claims restricted for food and supplement listings on Amazon DE?
Amazon DE restricts unsubstantiated health efficacy claims for food and supplement listings. Documented restricted terms include Gewichtsverlust, garantiert, and absolute health-claim language. This tool flags these as documented risk factors; it does not replicate Amazon's full review process.
What compliance risks are common in Amazon DE toys and children's product listings?
Documented compliance risk factors for Amazon DE toy listings include superlative claims (bestseller, perfekt, beste) and safety-efficacy language. GPSR safety-declaration requirements may apply to children's products. This tool pre-checks for documented banned terms; it does not replicate Amazon's full moderation process.
What compliance issues most commonly affect general Amazon DE product listings?
Documented risk factors across general Amazon DE product categories include titles exceeding the 200-character limit, restricted superlative claims (beste, bestseller, garantiert), and health or efficacy language. This tool pre-checks for these documented signals; it does not replicate Amazon's full listing review process.
Data handling & GDPR for API users
Is my product listing data stored after processing?
No. For this free Checker tool, all checks run entirely in your browser — no listing data is sent to any server at all. For the ListLoco API, listing content is processed in memory and discarded when the response is returned. It is not permanently stored, accumulated, or reused. See our Privacy Policy for details. This is not legal advice.
How does ListLoco handle personal data and GDPR data requests from EU sellers?
Operational logs record request counts and error codes only — the text of submitted listings is not retained in logs. Analytics is cookieless and does not collect personally identifiable information (PII). EU sellers with data inquiries or deletion requests may contact sakai.work259601@gmail.com. See our Privacy Policy for details. This is not legal advice.
