Localizing your app listing into Czech

What actually changes when you add Czech to an app listing: the storefronts it reaches, what each store calls it, and what the script does to your keyword field and your screenshot captions.

Čeština App Store: Czech Play: cs-CZ Latin with diacritics ~100 characters of keyword field

Storefronts and localization names read from Apple’s App Store localizations reference; language codes and field limits from Google Play’s translation language list and each store’s field reference. Checked August 29, 2026.

The Czechia storefront defaults to English (U.K.) with Czech as an additional supported language — an opt-in listing in a market where local-language search is the norm.

Czech háček and čárka characters are two bytes each, which trims the effective keyword field below the 100 characters a plain-ASCII listing gets.

Where a Czech listing appears

Apple publishes the default language of all 173 App Store storefronts, and Czech is the default in none of them — it is an additional supported language in 1. Those markets see English unless you add the Czech localization yourself.

What you translate, and what it costs you

Both stores cap the same fields, and neither cap changes by language — but the amount of meaning you fit inside them does. Apple’s keyword field is the one that surprises people: it is measured in bytes, so Latin with diacritics at about 1 byte per character leaves roughly 100 characters. Google Play counts characters instead, and says so explicitly: its limits “apply to both full-width and half-width characters”.

Store Field Limit
App Store App name 2–30 characters
App Store Subtitle 30 characters
App Store Keywords 100 bytes
App Store Promotional text 170 characters
App Store Description 4,000 characters
Google Play App name 30 characters
Google Play Short description 80 characters
Google Play Full description 4,000 characters
In Czech: Czech expands around 10% from English but has long consonant clusters that hyphenate badly in narrow caption boxes.

The screenshots are part of the localization

Both stores let you upload a separate screenshot set per localization, and in practice the captions are what sells — a translated description under English screenshots converts like an English listing. Design the frames once, then export the same layout per language rather than rebuilding it: that is the difference between localizing into Czech in an afternoon and not doing it at all.

Write it once, ship it in Czech

Edok Studio drafts your store listing with AI, translates the whole thing — name, subtitle, keywords, description — into Czech and 30+ other languages, and exports a screenshot set per locale from one design.

Frequently asked questions

Does the App Store support Czech listings?

Yes. Apple’s localization is called Czech, and you add it in App Store Connect alongside your primary language. Google Play’s code is cs-CZ.

Which App Store storefronts show a Czech listing?

Czech is not the default language of any storefront — it is an additional supported language in 1 of Apple’s 173 App Store countries and regions (Czechia). Those storefronts default to another language, so the Czech listing only exists if you add it.

How much fits in the Czech App Store keyword field?

About 100 characters. Apple’s keyword field is 100 bytes, not 100 characters, and Latin with diacritics costs roughly 1 byte per character in UTF-8. Google Play has no keyword field at all — its limits are counted in characters, full-width or half-width alike.

What are the character limits for a Czech store listing?

The same as every other language: App Store name 30, subtitle 30, promotional text 170, description 4,000, keywords 100 bytes; Google Play name 30, short description 80, full description 4,000. The limits do not change per language — how much you can say inside them does.
