Translate your App Store listing into Hungarian
Hungarian (Magyar) — ≈13 million native speakers, serving the App Store in Hungary. Here’s what a Hungarian localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Hungarian?
Hungarian is isolated from every neighboring language, so no fallback locale covers it. Listings translated into Hungarian face almost no keyword competition.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Hungary storefront match against the hu localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Hungarian searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Hungarian-specific translation tip
Hungarian is agglutinative — suffixes pile onto words. Keep keywords in their dictionary form for the widest match.
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 (Hungarian 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 Hungarian (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the hu localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.
