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.

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.
