AscBuddy Localization

Auto-Localizer for App Store Listings

Fill missing App Store listing localizations from inside App Store Connect. Select the locales that need work, protect brand words, and let AscBuddy draft listing fields for review.

The Problem

App Store listing localization is useful, but the workflow gets repetitive fast.

App Store Connect separates listing metadata across locales and version states. That means a simple release can turn into repeated checks for missing languages, empty fields, brand terms, character limits, and save rules.

Find missing locales

The Recommendations tab shows when an app has missing listing localizations and opens Auto-Localizer.

Protect brand words

Choose app, product, or brand terms that should stay unchanged while localized listing copy is drafted.

Review the result

AscBuddy shows created, updated, and failed locales so you can review what happened before moving on.

What It Drafts

Listing metadata fields, not app binary strings.

Auto-Localizer focuses on App Store listing metadata. You still review the localized drafts before saving or submitting changes.

Name

Draft localized app names when source text is available.

Subtitle

Keep short positioning copy organized across languages.

Keywords

Create keyword drafts for review and local market refinement.

Description

Draft longer listing descriptions without starting from a blank field.

Promotional Text

Prepare localized promotional text when the source field exists.

What's New

Draft localized release notes for update workflows.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Auto-Localizer translate my app's in-app strings?

No. Auto-Localizer is for App Store listing metadata, such as the app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and What's New.

Does it guarantee better rankings or more installs?

No. Localized listing metadata can help you present more relevant copy, but results depend on your app, market, listing quality, and promotion.

Can I edit listing localizations at any time?

App Store Connect controls when some metadata is editable. AscBuddy is designed to work with those states and surface issues when a selected version cannot be changed.
