App Descriptions are the easiest place to localize<\/h1>\n

The simplest and most effective way to begin localizing your iPhone app for the App Store is through your App Description and Keywords. Why? Because it doesn’t require reworking any code or hassling with testing or layout. You’ll simple edit some info in iTunes Connect<\/a>, copying and pasting translations of your app description and keywords \u2014 even screenshots if you like. At Babble-on, we not only localize apps<\/a>\u00a0but for many game developers and other devs considering localization for the first time we begin with app descriptions. (We’ll even help you improve your app description in English<\/a>\u00a0first if you like!)<\/p>\n

Adding a Localized App Description<\/h2>\n

We localize apps every day and, at the request of developers, we’ve put together a step-by-step tutorial to show you just how to add a localized version of your app description. Check it out in our Tutorials<\/a> section:<\/p>\n

Keywords: Discoverability made easy<\/h2>\n

It’s worth mentioning that the App Description is not the only way to improve downloads in the international App Stores. You already know how important keywords are for users discovering your app. The same applies to the international versions of the App Store. This\u00a0metadata,<\/em>\u00a0properly localized, is precisely what Apple will use to help users in other countries to\u00a0discover<\/strong>\u00a0your app. Keywords are very precise, so don’t rely on Google Translate<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Editable and Unlocked<\/h2>\n

One note of warning about Apple’s latest App Store rules. Metadata, including App Store descriptions, keywords, and screenshots are now in a\u00a0Locked<\/strong> state once a version of your app is Ready for Sale in the App Store. That means that you can edit an\u00a0existing<\/em> localization of an app description at any time, but you won’t be able to\u00a0add a new language<\/strong> until you submit a new Version of your app for App Review.<\/p>\n

Next time you release a bug fix update, make the move to localized app descriptions!
