Ad TranslationΒΆ

It is possible to list single Ad in multiple languages by providing translations in every Language.

Below list contain the fields required in every language/locale.

field type constraints default Req W U
locale string for Marktplaats only nl-NL allowed, for 2dehands: nl-BE and fr-BE allowed yes yes yes
title string max. 60 chars yes yes yes
description string max. 65535 chars yes yes yes

locale

Locale (language) of the Translation.

title

Any string with a minimum of 3 characters, up to 60 characters. Urls are not allowed as part of the title.

description

The description field of the ad. All HTML elements except for the ones below will be removed:

<i> <em> <b> <strong> <ul> <li> <u> <br/>

The description can also contain Wiki-formatting. It is recommended to not rely on this feature, since it is probably going to change in the future. But since it has impact on how the description is rendered, it is mentioned here.

We support the following Wikiformatting:

  • Bold: **bold**

  • Italic: //italic//

  • Underline: __underline__

  • Lists:
    * item1
    * item2
    

The result of this support is that it is currently not possible to add the character combinations needed for the Wiki formatting literally in the description. So for example, there is currently no way of including **hi** in a description, because this will be rendered as bold.
