Translate your App Store listing into Swedish
Swedish (Svenska) — ≈10 million native speakers, serving the App Store in Sweden, Finland. Here’s what a Swedish localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Swedish?
Sweden is a wealthy, subscription-friendly market. English fluency is near-universal, yet localized keywords still win searches typed in Swedish.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Sweden storefront match against the sv localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Swedish searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Swedish-specific translation tip
Compound words are the norm ("träningsapp", not "tränings app"). Use the compound forms in keywords — that's what users type.
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 (Swedish 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 Swedish (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the sv localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

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