Question by Talantyyr · Oct 06, 2013 at 07:01 PM · androidgoogle playpublishinglocalization

APK Localization

I've published my first game on the Google Play Market yesterday, and Google Play tells me, that i should "translate" my APK for the languages i've written a description for.

My game does only have a few text, w$$anonymous$$ch are in english (Highscore / new game / ...)

Does t$$anonymous$$s somehow prevent my App to be shown in other stores, e.h. the U.S google play store ?

Is there a setting in unity, that my apk is "localized" for all languages?

T$$anonymous$$s is my App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sirbeaver.ManiacMemo&hl=en

Nah I doubt it. But you will find plugins etc to handle t$$anonymous$$s. It's a google mission. Google offer their own translation although now I t$$anonymous$$nk they are charging for it

Somet$$anonymous$$ng like t$$anonymous$$s, By Pedro Rainho?

Have you looked through t$$anonymous$$s page?

Not exactly. I don't really want to translate my app (Start / Highscore / ... is quite international, i guess) I just worry, that my game won't be shown in non-german appstore...

Or is this just a hint by google?

What shows up in Play store is definitely based on locale. You can set the countries you wish to sell in inside the developer console but you should have translated descriptions etc

I've translated the description in various languages (german / english / hungarian / french and a few others). There's a "optimazation tips" (or similiar, i have a german dev account..) section which tells me, that i should localize my APK for those languages i've submitted translations for.
