Localizing your app listing into Indonesian

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.

Indonesia is one of the largest Android markets in the world and the App Store storefront there supports Indonesian as an additional language over an English (U.K.) default — so Play is usually where this localization pays first.

Latin script means the full 100 bytes of Apple’s keyword field are usable, which is not true of most high-growth markets.

Where a Indonesian listing appears

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

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 Indonesian in an afternoon and not doing it at all.
