In the same thread, Pauwels (2012) noted that recent research studies propose a need to pay more attention to cultural meaning that the content and form of websites address due to the fact that researchers dedicate little focus on the language role and its impact on websites localization on the basis of records made in the Arab world in the field of e-commerce (Liginlal et al, 2017;Nacar & Burnaz, 2011).…”

“…Another study found that cultural variances of users and data preferences will not be successfully addressed from one language to another through translational processes of a website (Hillier, 2003). One may claim that a number of businesses keep on their globalization tactics based on the false assumption that potential purchasers likely know English (Liginlal et al, 2017).

Cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) has become an important channel to help Chinese firms enter the international market. The recent influx in the development of CEBC has caused a simultaneous influx in accumulation of valuable text data such as consumer feedback. To better understand consumer feedback, we explored the topics of feedback posted directly by customers. We employed the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model to explore the topics focused on most; we found that 35 primary topics were most mentioned by both buyers and sellers. Based on our findings, the sellers regarded commission, product audit, communication between seller and buyer, order management and traffic as the most crucial. Buyers mentioned return and refund, product tracking, product description, shipping time, and seller performance significantly more than other topics. This study will help contribute to the understanding of how consumer feedback will help firms in many ways, including but not limited to recovering service and product failures, audit internal functions, and improving product quality.
