Translate your App Store listing into Croatian
Croatian (Hrvatski) — ≈5.5 million native speakers, serving the App Store in Croatia. Here’s what a Croatian localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Croatian?
Croatia joined the App Store's localized locales relatively recently, so most categories still have near-zero Croatian keyword competition.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Croatia storefront match against the hr localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Croatian searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Croatian-specific translation tip
Croatian shares much with Serbian and Bosnian, but the App Store locale is specifically Croatian — use Croatian standard forms.
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 (Croatian 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 Croatian (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the hr localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

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