Not that I am aware of but Google Translate does a pretty good job of translating the pages.

Re: Amazon
 
Issue I have is with configuring 'what' the names of items are 'called' in Spain. For example, I was awaiting to ship from A.UK an exterior seating mood cube (lights up when powered etc / remote).

After the longest, I found the right name on A.ES; Cubo LED.

I was translating, searching stools, stools cube, no joy.
Found it eventually, & have to say - cheaper than A.UK.

DSB.

This is going to make a huge difference to my orders from Amazon. Currently I order flour for my breadmaker as they have a really good selection way better than anything I've found in Spain. (from Bacheldre Watermill)
Now instead of free delivery its going to cost an additional £5.49 plus 0.59 per kilo.
Books cost an additional £4.99 and 0.99 per item.
However if you are canny and order books and other items together you only pay the highest basic rate plus the per item fee.
So 5 kilos of flour and 2 books would be £5.49 + 5 x 0.59 (2.95) + 2 x 0.99 (£1.98) = £10.42
Its a lot compared with the zero it used to be but the stuff is still a lot cheaper and not available on the ES site. Have found electrical items on the ES website though - many of them cheaper than the UK
Incidentally M&S just upped their minimum spend for free delivery from 35 euros to 99.

Yes, so have I.

I ordered an electric griddle on Thursday afternoon and it arrived on Friday morning with free delivery if you are a premium customer. (€15/yr)
