Which lessons have a tool and which are video only?

Some lessons have an AI generator under the video. Others are strategy and instructional video lessons with no generator attached.

If a lesson shows nothing below the video, that lesson has no generator. Rewatch the lesson video for the specific strategy being taught.

What does "translocate" mean in the translation lessons?

Every localization generator in the course does not do word-for-word translation. It "translocates": it rewrites the content the way a real native speaker in that country would actually say it, using natural phrasing, idioms and the search language a local reader actually types and speaks. If a localized result is not a direct translation of what you wrote in English, that is intentional and correct.

Every localization generator has two dropdowns. Target Language lists the languages Amazon supports across its real international stores. Target Country / Amazon Store then only shows the real Amazon marketplaces that serve the chosen language. For example, Spanish shows only Spain (amazon.es) and Mexico (amazon.com.mx), and Portuguese shows only Brazil (amazon.com.br), because Amazon has no separate Portugal store.

In what order should I do the translation lessons?

1. 1The KG + Big Promise Localization Generator (Lesson 2) must be run first. It takes your finished English Knowledge Graph and Big Promise and translocates the full 18-node graph and Big Promise into the target language. Everything else in the localization lessons depends on its output.
2. 2Title Localizer (Lesson 3, main tab).
3. 3The Global Book Translation Generator (Lesson 3, second tab). It needs a Title Localizer result for the same language first.
4. 4The Sales Page Translation Generator tabs (Lesson 4). They do not depend on steps 2 or 3 and can be done any time once step 1 is complete.
5. 5The Amazon Ads Translation Generator (Lesson 5). It does not depend on steps 2 to 4, but it needs your Amazon Ads Keyword Generator output from Lesson 1, because it translocates that output instead of generating from scratch.

Where do audiobooks fit in?

The Audiobook Creator lives in the Audiobooks tab at the top of the Writing Studio. See How do I set up the Audiobook Creator?.
