App Store Localization FAQ

Common questions about localizing screenshots and metadata, then publishing directly to App Store Connect.

What does App Store Localizer generate?

It generates localized App Store metadata (title, subtitle, keywords, description, and What's New) plus localized iPhone and iPad screenshots sized for App Store Connect.

Can I translate App Store screenshots from a public URL?

Yes. Paste a public App Store listing URL and App Store Localizer imports available source screenshots before generating translated versions for your selected locales.

Do I need App Store Connect credentials to start?

No. You can import any public App Store listing by URL and generate localized assets first. App Store Connect credentials are only needed when you publish directly to App Store Connect.

Which locales are supported?

The app supports a broad set of App Store locales. You can pick target languages before running localization based on your package language limit.

Can I choose a specific App Store version when publishing?

Yes. After you paste Key ID, Issuer ID, and Private Key, the app auto-loads your available versions so you can pick one, or leave auto-select enabled.

Are my App Store Connect credentials stored?

Credentials are used in-memory for the current session to call App Store Connect and are not persisted as saved account credentials in the UI flow.

How many screenshots are localized?

Both packages localize every available screenshot for the selected listing, up to App Store Connect's screenshot slot limit for each device.

Can I upgrade after trying Starter?

Yes. After a Starter run, choose the Global launch upgrade to pay only the difference and generate the remaining supported languages for the same listing.

Can I localize a different app?

Yes. Start a new App Store listing from the app workspace and buy a fresh package for that app. Purchases are scoped to one listing run.

Can I download everything for manual upload?

Yes. Each run includes a downloadable bundle and manifest so you can upload localized metadata and screenshots manually if preferred.

What if App Store Connect blocks a localization update?

The publish result shows which locales were skipped and why. This usually happens when a locale is not enabled yet or the selected version state does not allow that change.

Ready to localize your listing?

Paste your App Store URL and generate launch-ready localized assets in one run.
