Go local to go global

Making your app and store listing available in the right local languages could improve your app�s discoverability and lead to further download growth. Get your app ready for worldwide users with these simple steps.

Decide where to focus

Check where your traffic is coming from in AdMob geography reporting. If you have users from the top 5 markets downloading apps, you could also focus there.

Translate those text strings 

Translation doesn�t need to break the bank. Get your text strings localized with one of these easy options:

Free			Google Translate: For simple words or phrases, Google Translate is a quick and free option.
Affordable			Google App Translation Service: Purchase professional translations through Google Play�s Developer Console.

Of course, you can always find your own translation vendor, or see more options in this guide.

Consider the culture

Considering cultural contexts is important when fully localizing your app. Start with your title, description and icon, then test what works best for your users.

		How to localize
	Title	Make sure your app title fits the local market. Keep your title focused: it should be unique and accessible, avoid common terms, and reinforce what your app is about.
	Description	Descriptions should be short and sweet, with the first sentence summing up what your app does and what users will get from it.
	Icon	Take a look at different examples in each market you want to target. Users in Asia tend to prefer the cute and the colorful, while for US and European users, keep icons simple and focus on one or two features.
