Translate your App Store listing into Dutch
Dutch (Nederlands) — ≈24 million native speakers, serving the App Store in Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders). Here’s what a Dutch localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Dutch?
Dutch users read English well, but search in Dutch. Localized keywords capture searches your English listing never appears in, at very low translation cost.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Netherlands storefront match against the nl-NL localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Dutch searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Dutch-specific translation tip
Since English comprehension is high, keep brand and feature names in English where natural — full translation of technical terms can feel forced.
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 (Dutch 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 Dutch (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the nl-NL localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

Dutch localization FAQ
Which App Store locale code is Dutch? ＋

Do character limits change for Dutch? ＋
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 Dutch. StoreTranslate validates each field against these limits before uploading.
Can I translate only some fields into Dutch? ＋

Open your app in App Store Connect, select a version in an editable state, and add Dutch from the language menu — or let StoreTranslate create and fill the localization for you through the App Store Connect API.
