WHAT IS APP LOCALIZATION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
App localization is the process of adapting your app to appeal to different geographic target markets. When you decide to get your app to the global market it is fundamental to reach the largest audience possible, and to do this of course you have to provide the translation of the content in more languages as possible so you even create a better opportunity for growth because now your app can be seen not just in one country but all over the world.Â
APP LOCALIZATION IS MORE THAN TRANSLATION!
Translators always need context to correctly convey the message from one language to another, for it to be successful they cannot consider only the text elements of an app but also the cultural context of a country has to be taken into consideration, which means preferences like icons and images are just as important. So it is vital that translators do their research before entering a new market so that they can avoid mistakes or misunderstandings with users in other areas of the world.Â

- Increased visibility, the more effective the localization the more visibility you will gain on App Stores.
