ASO LOCALIZATION GUIDES
GO GLOBAL.
DO THE LOCAL WORK.
A new language is not a new strategy. Connect the market, the message and the product before asking a different audience to install.

BEFORE THE TRANSLATION ORDER
Can the product keep the promise?
ASO localization connects local search language, listing copy, creative and the experience after installation. The first question is whether the app can serve the intended user. The second is what evidence makes that market worth investigating. Only then does a production brief become useful.
This library follows that sequence. Start with localization strategy and market prioritization when deciding where to invest. Use translation versus localization to clarify the work you are commissioning. A linguistically correct sentence can still create the wrong product expectation.
Choose a bounded pilot
Document fit, evidence, dependencies and ownership.
Make the message work
Research local intent and review the creative in context.
Check what users see
Approve a version and inspect the published result.
Once a market is selected, local keyword research should inform the promise rather than dictate a list of words to squeeze into every field. Pair that work with value proposition development and a clear screenshot narrative. Keep language, product availability and store distribution as separate items in the brief.
Implementation depends on the store. The Apple and Google Play guides link to their official documentation and explain how to keep copy, assets and reviews organised. Final review should include the exported creative, the available product and the actual published listing—not just a translation spreadsheet.
The diagrams use fictional examples to make decisions visible. They are not market rankings, language benchmarks or client results. Apply the methods to your own evidence, and preserve uncertainty where your reports cannot identify exactly which listing version a visitor saw.
