Automatic translation

Last updated 1 year ago

The App Store Manager allows automatic translation of metadata. This includes the descriptive texts of the apps in both app stores (Google and Apple). This means the titles and detailed descriptions.

The list of languages supported as a source and translation target can be found . Languages for which automatic translation is impossible can be edited, imported, and uploaded.

Necessary with the texts, they must comply with the respective guidelines of the stores.

An improved translation is available for the essential languages in the Premium plan. This Neural network-based translation is very close to natural, context-sensitive language. Contact us if this is of interest to you.

All translations can be checked and validated before they are accepted. Often, the word and sentence lengths differ. Therefore, it is essential to check and adjust them if necessary. The App Store Manager indicates when a field exceeds the maximum allowed length. In this case, the sentence must be shortened accordingly.

The Retranslate function can help with this. It allows repeated translation based on a selected source language. If the source language is shortened, the number of letters and words in the target language will also be shortened. This step can be repeated at will until the desired result is achieved.

Important: all translations consume characters. Consider the available limit in your subscription plan.
