Prepare a Chinese product catalog with a fixed edition, product order, specifications and layout proof. Compare related Decathlon product-content work.

For a Chinese product catalog, identify the source edition and the exact products to include. A catalogue is a bounded publication: product order, sections and page placement can matter as much as the translated descriptions. Confirm whether Chinese replaces the source language or appears beside it.
Provide the editable layout, matching PDF and a product list with stable identifiers. Mark discontinued items, region-specific variants and pages excluded from translation. Resolve differences between the layout and product list before the review team starts checking the Chinese proof.

DecathlonFrench → Chinese
French-to-Chinese translation of website product content for the China market.
Decathlon supports French-to-Chinese website product-content experience. The fictional catalogue proof note is not a Decathlon catalogue or evidence of a print-layout project.
For a product catalogue into Chinese, provide the source edition, included products, editable layout and matching PDF, approved Chinese names and requested proof format. Confirm the actual source language, Chinese script, page-correction owner and publication handover.
Check specifications as a family of products
Specification tables make differences between products visible. Keep each value, unit, symbol and footnote tied to the right model and column. Translating a heading without its table can change how readers interpret the values even when the numbers remain untouched.
Agree Chinese product-family names and recurring attributes across the edition. Keep product codes and model identifiers traceable to the source. Flag inconsistent descriptions or unclear units for the product owner; do not invent a product claim or specification to make the catalogue appear complete.
Plan the Chinese layout proof and later corrections
Confirm text fit, image captions, table headers, contents entries and internal page references in the requested proof scope. Chinese-only and bilingual layouts can need different treatment. A translated spreadsheet is a content handover, while a checked PDF is a separate deliverable to define in the quotation.
Collect proof corrections against a stable page or product reference. Identify whether a comment changes the source product data or only the Chinese wording, and agree who approves the final publication. New products or changed source values should be tracked as a new scope or revision, not mixed invisibly into a reviewed edition.
Separate published product-content experience from catalog scope
The Decathlon case documents French website product content translated into Chinese for the China market. It is related product-content experience, not evidence that Angel produced a printed Decathlon catalogue or handled a specific layout system.
For webpage copy, use the website product-content guide. For structured exports and return files, use PIM product-data handover. A catalogue brief can combine these inputs, but its edition, page proof and approval scope still need to be stated separately.
