Have you covered all your Bases?

We often get email from providers wondering in which countries and languages Google Base is currently available, and how you can get your items onto these versions of Base. Here's the lowdown.

In addition to the U.S., Google Base is currently available in the UK and Germany in English and German, respectively. For those of you looking to upload your products, here’s how our currency options and languages work:

• Google Base US: prices have to be listed in US dollars and all content submitted in English
• Google Base UK: prices have to be listed in pounds sterling and all content submitted in English
• Google Base Germany: prices have to be listed in Euros and all content submitted in German

Make sure you’re logging into the correct Google Base domain, which depends on where you’d like your items to show up. To see your UK product bulk upload status in your account dashboard, for example, you’ll need to log into base.google.co.uk. Remember: use your existing username and password to log into your account! You don't need to create a separate account to upload on each domain.

That’s all for now, but we’ll be sure to let you know as we internationalize further.
