Translate your App Store listing into Hebrew
Hebrew (עברית) — ≈9 million speakers, serving the App Store in Israel. Here’s what a Hebrew localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Hebrew?
Israel is a tech-savvy, high-income storefront. Hebrew listings are uncommon enough that localization is a visible signal of quality.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Israel storefront match against the he localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Hebrew searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Hebrew-specific translation tip
Hebrew is right-to-left and usually written without vowel marks. Verify your app name and mixed Hebrew/English strings render in the right direction.
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 (Hebrew 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 Hebrew (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the he localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.
