Flux ArtStart with what buyers pay, not just matching numbers
Chinese '8-zhe' means paying 80% of the reference amount. Its English equivalent can be '20% off', meaning a 20% reduction. '80% off' means paying only 20%, a completely different offer. When making bilingual sale graphics with Flux Art, first match the approved offer amounts to the copy, then begin visual production. This article provides hypothetical calculations and a checking method only. It reports no real promotion tests and does not determine whether a particular price is a lawful comparison basis. The business must separately confirm offer eligibility, taxes and fees, channel rules, and the basis for the prices.
Prepare comparable price records for every line of copy
Record the product option, quantity being priced, currency, approved comparison basis, approved selling price, and applicable conditions. Both amounts must refer to the same product, quantity, and included charges. Do not compare a single-item reference amount with a bundle selling price, or directly divide amounts that differ in whether shipping is included. If all you receive is '8-zhe', without amounts or an offer version, confirm the records first; do not let the designer invent a crossed-out price. Until the comparison basis is confirmed, a workable calculation does not mean the copy is approved for publication.
Use two complementary formulas to check both languages
For a simple hypothetical price reduction where the reference amount is greater than zero and the selling price is between zero and that reference amount, the proportion paid equals the selling price divided by the reference amount. The proportion saved equals one minus the proportion paid. The Chinese zhe number is the proportion paid multiplied by ten; English 'percent off' uses the proportion saved multiplied by one hundred. If comparable amounts hypothetically change from 100 to 80, the proportion paid is 0.8 and the proportion saved is 0.2, so 8-zhe corresponds to 20% off. The table below contains arithmetic examples only, not test results, Flux Art plans, or actual product offers. Actual copy must follow approved information; if that information is unknown, mark it as awaiting supporting evidence first.
| Hypothetical amounts and Chinese notation | Proportion paid and saved | English equivalent and checks |
|---|---|---|
| 100 to 80: 8-zhe | Pay 80%; save 20% | 20% off, not 80% off |
| 100 to 75: 7.5-zhe | Pay 75%; save 25% | 25% off; preserve the meaning of the decimal zhe value |
| 100 to 20: 2-zhe | Pay 20%; save 80% | 80% off, not 20% off |
| 100, then 20% off followed by 10% off | Pay 72%; save 28% | 28% off, applicable only to this hypothetical stacking method |
| Comparison basis not confirmed | Cannot establish a publishable percentage | Obtain approved information first; the designer must not invent prices |
Have a reviewer work backward from the copy to the price
Do not merely check whether the translated numbers match the Chinese ones. Give the proposed Chinese and English copy to a reviewer and have them independently calculate the amount the buyer should pay from each version, then compare both results with the approved selling price. With a hypothetical reference amount of 100, Chinese '8-zhe' and English '80% off' imply payments of 80 and 20 respectively. Correct the English meaning; do not change the approved selling price to 20 to fit the graphic. Record whether the error originated in the offer information, translation, or layout, so the correction addresses the right stage.
Calculate stacked offers in the approved order; do not add discounts
Suppose two percentage reductions apply sequentially to the remaining amount. Taking 20% off and then another 10% off gives a proportion paid of 0.8 multiplied by 0.9, or 0.72. The total reduction is 28%, not 30%. This demonstrates that hypothetical calculation only; it does not establish that any merchant allows offers to be combined. When fixed-amount reductions and percentage discounts are mixed, their order may also change the result. If the offer rules do not specify the amount each reduction applies to, the thresholds, and the order, return them for confirmation rather than choosing whichever wording appears more generous.
Keep qualifiers so translation does not broaden the offer
If approved copy applies only to specified options, particular quantities, or one phase of a promotion, retain those conditions in both languages. A maximum discount does not mean every product receives that reduction. Qualifiers such as 'from' or 'up to' must not appear in only one language version. Do not turn an offer on selected products into a storewide offer just to shorten the text on a graphic. This check establishes whether both languages express the same offer; it provides neither a fixed platform template nor a compliance determination. Review the final copy against current channel and promotion requirements.
Keep full calculation values; get approval for display precision
If the approved amounts produce a non-integer percentage reduction, retain the full calculated value first, then apply the approved display rules. Do not round upward arbitrarily to make the offer more eye-catching. A hypothetical change from 100 to 83 is a 17% reduction and should not be labeled '20% off'. If a graphic's percentage does not match its amounts, check for premature rounding or an incorrectly copied comparison basis. Do not use the division formula when the reference amount is zero. If the selling price exceeds the reference amount, do not continue presenting it as a price reduction; recheck the business records.
Review the editable design and the final export separately
You can start at https://flux-art.net/en/ai-ecommerce to create candidate product visuals and promotional layouts, then place approved Chinese and English copy into editable text layers. Do not rely on a single generation to get important amounts, percent signs, 'off', and offer conditions right automatically. First check meaning and amounts in the editable file. Then open the actual export and inspect it at its intended placement to see whether percent signs, the Chinese zhe character, or conditions have been cropped or separated by line breaks. OCR can help locate text, but it cannot determine whether 8-zhe and 80% off describe the same offer.
Deliver the calculations, copy, and offer version together
In the handover sheet, use one row to connect the product option, reference amount, selling price, both proportions, approved Chinese and English copy, offer version, and final file. When prices change, recheck the affected languages and placements rather than reusing an old discount badge. Related visuals can be created at https://flux-art.net/en/ai-image.
