App Localization – not just translation
Users in varied countries act differently because they have distinct cultures. They require tailored content and visuals – something we call culturalization. When apps just translate their title, subtitle, and description for each geo they’re offered in, many may think it’s job done. What they don’t think about, however, are elements of critical importance: such as cultural nuances and relevant local keywords. A highly accurate translation, for example, might not include a single relevant keyword! This is why, for true ASO localization, you need to carry out research and understand the audience you’re localizing for – or have a partner that has experience in localization success.
Localization benefits
More traffic
Effective, localized keyword research can find the keywords that have the highest traffic in each specific location – something you won’t get by simply translating your current metadata fields.
Lower difficulty
When apps are not localized properly in app stores’ results, there can be gaps where users search for keywords that apps aren’t using. It’s critical to use keywords for a high ranking, but without focusing on the correct, localized keywords, and updating your metadata accordingly, your app won’t reach its true potential.
Better local conversion rates
Conversion rates take multiple factors into account, including text and screenshots/video. Different cultures have different visual expectations, and you can’t assume that what works in one geo will work equally well in others. An effective CRO localization strategy optimizes across all touchpoints to drive results.
