Translate your App Store listing into Vietnamese
Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) — ≈85 million native speakers, serving the App Store in Vietnam. Here’s what a Vietnamese localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Vietnamese?
Vietnam has rapidly rising iPhone adoption and very few properly localized listings outside the top publishers.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Vietnam storefront match against the vi localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Vietnamese searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Vietnamese-specific translation tip
Vietnamese tonal diacritics matter in search: include the fully accented forms of keywords, since that's how users type on iOS keyboards.
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 (Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the vi localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

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