Keyword tracking in the Japan marketplace may sometimes result in errors.
This is because the system currently cannot differentiate between certain Japanese character sets (i.e., Hiragana and Katakana).
For example:
- アイフォン (Katakana)
- あいふぉん (Hiragana)
Although these characters look different, the system recognizes them as duplicates.
As a result, the system flags them as conflicting entries and returns an error when uploading keyword rankings or tracking keywords.
Note: Support for handling character variations in Japanese will be added in future software updates.
