Translate your App Store listing into Ukrainian
Ukrainian (Українська) — ≈40 million speakers, serving the App Store in Ukraine. Here’s what a Ukrainian localization is worth and how to ship one in minutes.
Why localize for Ukrainian?
Ukrainian-language listings have grown sharply in importance as users increasingly search in Ukrainian rather than Russian. It's an underserved locale with weak keyword competition.
App Store search is per-locale: queries typed on the Ukraine storefront match against the uk localization of your metadata. Without one, your app doesn’t rank for Ukrainian searches at all — no matter how strong your English keywords are.
Ukrainian-specific translation tip
Don't reuse Russian keywords transliterated — Ukrainian vocabulary differs substantially, and users notice which language you localized first.
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 (Ukrainian 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 Ukrainian (plus any other targets).
- Run the job. AI translates each selected field within its limit and uploads the uk localization via the App Store Connect API.
- Review in App Store Connect and submit with your next version.

Ukrainian localization FAQ
Which App Store locale code is Ukrainian? ＋
Ukrainian metadata uses the uk localization in App Store Connect, covering the storefronts for Ukraine.
Do character limits change for Ukrainian? ＋
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 Ukrainian. StoreTranslate validates each field against these limits before uploading.
Can I translate only some fields into Ukrainian? ＋

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