iphone, localization, info.plist

Question

If I declare "Japanese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Thai" in the "Localization" field of my app's myApp-info.plist file, will the iTunes Store detect this and correctly advertise these (together with the "Localization native development region" of "English") as the languages in which my app is available?

If not, what should I do to make sure these localizations are advertised?

Should I replace the "Localization" entry with comma-separated string of ISO_639-1 codes "en, fr, de, ja, th, zh-Hans"?

Thanking you in advance.

Answer 1

In your Info.plist, you need a "Localizations" (CFBundleLocalizations is the raw key name) entry of array type. Add all the supported languages to the array as separated items of the form "English", "German", etc. You don't need to use ISO codes.

On iTunes Connect, you will also want to localize the description of your app when you do the submission.

Answer 2

At the end of the document iOS User Experience - Internationalization Programming Topics it says that the words English, French, Portuguese,... are now deprecated and their ISO codes should be used instead.
