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.

Dutch is the default in the Netherlands and an additional supported language in Belgium, where the storefront default is English (U.K.) and French is offered alongside it — so a Belgian listing benefits from both Dutch and French.
Dutch speakers have high English fluency, which tempts developers to skip the localization; store search does not care about fluency, and Dutch-language queries still return Dutch-language listings first.
Where a Dutch listing appears
Apple publishes the default language of all 173 App Store storefronts. Dutch is the default in 1 of them, and an additional supported language in 2 more.

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 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 |
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 Dutch in an afternoon and not doing it at all.
Write it once, ship it in Dutch
Edok Studio drafts your store listing with AI, translates the whole thing — name, subtitle, keywords, description — into Dutch and 30+ other languages, and exports a screenshot set per locale from one design.
