Translate your App Store listing into Hindi
Hindi (हिन्दी) — ≈345 million native speakers, serving the App Store in India. Here’s what a Hindi localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Hindi?
India's iOS base is smaller than Android's but growing fast and skews affluent. A Hindi listing differentiates you in categories where every competitor is English-only.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the India storefront match against the hi localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Hindi searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Hindi-specific translation tip
Many Indian users search in romanized Hindi ("paisa" rather than "पैसा"). Include both scripts in your keyword field.
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 (Hindi 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 Hindi (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the hi localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

Hindi localization FAQ
Which App Store locale code is Hindi? ＋
Hindi metadata uses the hi localization in App Store Connect, covering the storefronts for India.
Do character limits change for Hindi? ＋
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 Hindi. StoreTranslate validates each field against these limits before uploading.
Can I translate only some fields into Hindi? ＋
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 Hindi localization in App Store Connect? ＋
Open your app in App Store Connect, select a version in an editable state, and add Hindi from the language menu — or let StoreTranslate create and fill the localization for you through the App Store Connect API.
