Translate your App Store listing into Finnish
Finnish (Suomi) — ≈5.5 million native speakers, serving the App Store in Finland. Here’s what a Finnish localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Finnish?
Finnish is unrelated to the other Nordic languages, so it's the one Nordic locale you can't approximate — and competitors usually skip it.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Finland storefront match against the fi localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Finnish searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Finnish-specific translation tip
Finnish has fifteen grammatical cases; keyword stems matter more than full forms. Include the shortest recognizable stem of each term.
StoreTranslate bakes language-specific guidance like this into its prompts, along with each field’s character limit and any custom instructions you add — brand terms to preserve, tone to match.
What gets translated
| Field | Limit (Finnish included) |
|---|---|
| App name | 30 characters |
| Subtitle | 30 characters |
| Promotional text | 170 characters |
| Description | 4,000 characters |
| Keywords | 100 characters |
| What's New (release notes) | 4,000 characters |
Field-level strategy lives in our guides on translating the description and translating keywords.
How it works
- Connect your App Store Connect API key — credentials are never stored.
- Pick your app, a version in an editable state, and Finnish (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the fi localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

Finnish localization FAQ
Which App Store locale code is Finnish? ＋
Finnish metadata uses the fi localization in App Store Connect, covering the storefronts for Finland.
Do character limits change for Finnish? ＋
No — the App Store’s limits (30 characters for name and subtitle, 100 for keywords, 170 for promotional text, 4,000 for the description) apply to every language, including Finnish. StoreTranslate validates each field against these limits before uploading.
Can I translate only some fields into Finnish? ＋
Yes. Pick exactly which fields to translate — most developers start with keywords and the description, keeping the app name unchanged. Existing translations are only overwritten if you choose to.
How do I add a Finnish localization in App Store Connect? ＋
Open your app in App Store Connect, select a version in an editable state, and add Finnish from the language menu — or let StoreTranslate create and fill the localization for you through the App Store Connect API.
