Is it necessary to translate app store description when selling in other markets? I have a fairly long description. If it helps to do so, can somebody translate to spanish and any others? I will post it if somebody volunteers.
Translate Long App Store Description?
(10 posts) (7 voices)-
No it's not necessary. If you don't, the description will be in English in every App Store (across all countries). But if you do, remember that every time you submit an update, you'll have to fill the "what's new in this version" section in all the languages you've added for this app in iTunes Connect. (note that the languages you set in iTC don't have to match the languages your app supports, you can have your app in English only with App Store stuff in English, Spanish and German, and vice versa).
What do you call fairly long ? I can help you with French if it's not too long.

I'm also willing to help with French for anyone who needs it.

I submitted yesterday with no translations. Thanks for the feedback Clain. I really appreciate the offers for translations. I may attempt to use localization in my next release which I never got around to and then have the entire app and description match up for each language. I plan to post info about my game on here soon. I need to get my web site up with a proper landing page first.

Hi,
I'm looking to translate my game's description into French. Could you help me lindgrenM? How can I contact you? (AFAIK, there's no PM system on these forums...)
I'm from Argentina and I'd be happy to help with translating English descriptions into Spanish if anyone needs it.

Hi! Yes, I could use the description in Italian, thanks tanis. France and Italy are our biggest non-English speaking markets right now and we think localizing the description can help our sales.
Here's a link to the description: http://www.silentswords.com/Distribution/SilentSwordsDesc.txt
If you make a translation, please send it to me via email: contact@oniricgames.com
Thank you very much in advance!!

if (self = [super init])
{
[MenuItemFont setFontSize:16];
[MenuItemFont setFontName:@"Helvetica"];
MenuItem *startGame = [MenuItemImage itemFromNormalImage:@"Eplay.png" selectedImage:@"Eplay_push.png" target:self selector:@selector(startGame:)];//MenuItem *goodies = [MenuItemImage itemFromNormalImage:@"goodies.png" selectedImage:@"goodies.png" target:nil selector:@selector(displayGoodies:)];
MenuItem *about = [MenuItemImage itemFromNormalImage:@"Eabout.png" selectedImage:@"Eabout_push.png" target:self selector:@selector(displayAbout:)];//Menu *menu = [Menu menuWithItems:startGame,goodies,about,nil];
Menu *menu = [Menu menuWithItems:startGame,about,nil];
menu.position = CGPointZero;startGame.position = ccp( 100 ,280);
// goodies.position = ccp( 100, 140);
about.position = ccp( 100, 210);Sprite *runningTrainning = [Sprite spriteWithFile:@"training_TITLE.png"];
sexyTrainning.position = CGPointMake (240 , 55);
Label *copyRight = [Label labelWithString:@"© 2009 WATAPROD. All Rights Reserved" dimensions:CGSizeMake(300, 20) alignment:UITextAlignmentCenter fontName:@"Helvetica" fontSize:15];
copyRight.position = ccp(240,10);[self addChild:runningTrainning];
[self addChild:menu];
[self addChild:copyRight];
}
return self;
}For example, i have a menu, all of the things are in english, now how can i switch these into French?
