Translate your App Store listing into Norwegian
Norwegian (Norsk) — ≈5 million native speakers, serving the App Store in Norway. Here’s what a Norwegian localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Norwegian?
Norway is small in users but among the highest per-user spend in the world. Localization here is cheap relative to the revenue per install.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Norway storefront match against the no localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Norwegian searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Norwegian-specific translation tip
The App Store uses Bokmål. As with Swedish, prefer compound keyword forms over separated words.
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 (Norwegian 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 Norwegian (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the no localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

Norwegian localization FAQ
Which App Store locale code is Norwegian? ＋
Norwegian metadata uses the no localization in App Store Connect, covering the storefronts for Norway.
Do character limits change for Norwegian? ＋
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 Norwegian. StoreTranslate validates each field against these limits before uploading.
Can I translate only some fields into Norwegian? ＋
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 Norwegian localization in App Store Connect? ＋
Open your app in App Store Connect, select a version in an editable state, and add Norwegian from the language menu — or let StoreTranslate create and fill the localization for you through the App Store Connect API.
