ITunes Connect localization problem

I am a Japanese developer and I set the primary language Japanese when I created an account at iTunes Connect. Then I uploaded my app and materials in both Japanese and English.
A few days after my app was released, I opened App Store in several countries and I was surprised to learn all materials used in UK, Germany, and other countries were in Japanese! My app had received worst rate in these countries as the reviewer didn't like the materials written in the language they didn't read.
Later, I learned I need to upload something for all localizations listed in iTunes Connect. But as I don't understand other languages except Japanese and English, I uploaded the same English materials 8 times for each localization.
But this is ridiculous. Japanese language is used ONLY in Japan. It doesn't make any sense using it for the other 8 localizations. What I am afraid is if other localizations are added to iTunes Connect, Japanese language will be used again for them and unless I am aware of the new additions, my app will receive worst rate for this ridiculous reason.
I strongly suggest all developers whose primary language is not English to check if localization is done correctly. And I would like Apple to be sure that not all developers' primary language is English.

Thanks for the note Chataka. We have been looking at what languages other than English we should be developing for. I'll be sure to use your 'hard' learning when we make the jump to internationalization.
If you can't get it sorted out, I recommend you hunt down the iphone dev. support phone number and see if you can get guidance directly from Apple.

  • ITunes connect error problems

    It seems a lot of people are having trouble with downloading ITunes Producer and getting an error message that says Itunes connect isn't authorized or something like that.  Some people outside the USA need to call support because the problem could be just the lack of State or phone info.  People in the US might just need to set it up by clicking on the "Get Started" link on the left side of that same page where the error message is.  It will bring you to a page where you can select either media, apps, or books to "learn more" - and that's where you start setting it up!  It takes a day to get it recognized by the system, but then you're all set.

    I have the same problem with Windows 7 64bit. ITune can see AE and stream Music well. Airfoil, TuneBlade (airplay soft) can also see AE but can't connect and stream music. I ' ve already tried to setup firewall Exception list, even turning off firewall off both windows and antivirus but still got the same problem with the message 'Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker " ... 's Airport Express". Please check the firewall on the computer where " ...'s Airport Express" is running and try again'. Any help would be appreciated !.

  • ITunes Connect approval problem

    Our app was returned because of a bug. The Resolution Center report noted that the "activity indicator spins indefinitely purchasing a subscription."
    I cannot reproduce the bug when using the test version generated by DPS - even the version submitted thru iTunes to test the app. We are trying to submit a multi-folio, free subscription thru iTunes/News stand.
    I've used DPS throughout the entire process, but can't seem to clear this last step with Apple.
    Has anyone had experience with this problem or can you offer some possible solutions? I am an art director, not a developer, so my coding skills are minimal. Its the main reason we deided to go with DPS.

    Hi Bob, I copied the shared secret from iTunes connect to the account admin tool and submitted the free subscription's in-app purchase for Apple to approve.
    I was able to test the app and the downloaded folio in the development app just fine.
    The only thing I could find on the Apple developer site that looked like it could possibly be related (although I don't know that it is) is a problem with case sensitivity in file names. See attached FAQ page from Apple. This is only a guess. Quite frankly I'm stuck..

  • ITunes Connect Logon Problems

    Can anyone help me gain access to iTunes Connect. I paid $99 to join the iPhone developer program and have been trying to submit to the App Store for several months now.
    When I go to logon to iTunes Connect it says "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect"
    I did the Forgot Password button and it allowed me to reset my password. But still it won't allow me to logon.
    Someone please help I've made several calls to Apple and sent many emails but nothing has helped. Should I be able to connect to this as part of my developer program?

    I have the same problem, I'm getting this error message on my MacBook (Safari 3.1.2) but I can sign in on my Mac mini (Safari 4).

  • IPHONE Itunes connect revolving problem

    Dear Engineers,
    I value my time as the next Joe, but this is ridiculous! I am irritated.  You create a product which was interpreted as being the best, and now that Steve Jobs is not around, your quality is lackluster, and rudimentary in nature when it comes to the simple task of connecting my Iphone 5s to the computer, when trying to connect to Itunes. The resulting end note is hours of precious time wasted. I use my cell for business. For the past 3 hours now I have been trying to connect to Itunes all while the screen that I see is a red button with itunes logo, and connector, staring me square in the face, mocking my intelligence. I have read every thread that relates to this scenario. This situation has happened for all my Iphones:
    Iphone 4, Iphone 4s, Iphone 5s.
    After downloading 7.1.2, 8.x, 8.02. Restart computer each time and phone. 
    Iphone will reboot after 15 minutes and show same screen.
    My computer is always up to date
    My computer is trusted by both iphone and itunes.
    Reboot scenarios
    Turn off phone: Turn on Itunes: hold down HOME button: connect phone:        NOT FIXED
    Update Itunes: follow same scenario as above:                                             NOT FIXED
    Download Tiny Umbrella: Connect Iphone: Run Program(3rd party program)     NOT FIXED
    Hard reboot on iphone                                                                                   NOT FIXED
    Every 15 minutes the phone reboots                                                              NOT FIXED
    I am now going to the Verizon store to see if they can work out the bugs. Was this your intention?
    If anyone knows of something other than the scenarios above please list, that is of course getting another phone.

  • ITunes Connect submission problem

    Despite being supervised by our Adobe DPS Pro contractor, here is what we have.
    Please help

    We have recreated everything and now it works.
    The problem is that the distribution certificate, maybe last night, was declared invalid by Apple despite the fact that its first status was Active.
    We didn't touch anything.
    Now the (Folio)app has been posted and we are waiting for approval.

  • Itunes Connect Primary Language.

    Sorry copy and paste another discussion, its archivied.
    But pass 3 year and nothing change.
    Me, another Brazilians and lots of  Germans, Japanese and all anothers people who dont have english like native language have the same problem.
    You set your native language in first time in iTunes Connect and done, in any place where you cant set a especify language your app will show in your native language. Punish Russian or Chinese (or ...)  to see portguese, german or japanese (or ...) description.
    What the workarround? Can I make another developer enroll with the same finacial documentation?

    Hi,
    i have an german iTunes Connect account. I want germans to the my german app description and all other countries shoud see my english translation. Do i have to enter the english localization for every country ?

    Aug 24, 2008 8:22 AM (in response to Macom2008)
    unfortunately not even this helps! I also made german my primary language and it seems - like in canada - they get always the german description for my software alsthough I added the english description to every other localisation avaiable...even canadian french! Well, no luck! There seems to be an error in the system. I mailed this about 10 times to Apple but no answer so far. I'm getting bad reviews there just because Apple shows the wrong text. Well anyway: Enter the english text in every other localisation tab! That will minimize the error! TO ALL OTHER GERMAN DEVs: Don't use german as your primary language!!!
    Macht es bloß nicht! Stellt lieber auf Englisch als Hauptsprache und gebt dann nur die Deutsche Fassung der Texte eimal ein. Das Web-Interface ist sowas von lahm...da bekommt man graue Haare während des Wartens! Nachträglich ändern ist leider nicht mehr...in diesem Sinne: "Lasst mich hier liegen, für mich ist es zu spät. Aber ihr könnt weiter machen. Geht und rettet die Mission!" ;o) 
    I am a Japanese developer and am facing a huge trouble with iTunes Connect localization.
    If your primary language on iTunes Connect is German, you need to enter the English description and screenshots for every localization (UK English, Italian, French, Japanese, ...). But what is problematic is the rest of the world which doesn't has particular localization settings (Australia, Canada, etc).
    In these "rest of the world" countries, your primary language is used and we can't change it. In your case, the description and screenshots are displayed in German in these countries. In my case, it is in Japanese and this is a huge problem as Japanese is used ONLY in Japan! Actually, the sales figure of these countries are clearly low and in some countries, I received terrible comment and worst rate as my app is introduced in the language they are not familiar with.
    I am asking Apple to solve this problem, but am not sure if they do something.

    Thanks for the note Chataka. We have been looking at what languages other than English we should be developing for. I'll be sure to use your 'hard' learning when we make the jump to internationalization.

    I have an apple id but ı can not use it for sign in to itunes connect account while publishing my ibook document. Why ı can not login? What can ı do to figure out this problem?

    As note already on the iBA forum [ AppleID for ibooks publishing ], you need two IDs. You can't use your developer ID.
    If you already signed up for books with that ID, you need to talk to Apple to straighten things out.

  • Can't find Danish language in iTunes Connect when choosing localizations

    I tried to upload a new app in English language but got the following e-mail from Apple:
    Dear xx,
    You can now edit the default language of your app’s metadata on iTunes Connect at the app level and it can be changed at any time. Customers are more likely to read about your app if they can do it in their native language, and we encourage you to translate your metadata for each of the countries in which you offer apps.
    To edit the default language for an app, go to the Manage Your Applications module, then click Edit for your App Information. Any previously added localizations will be available for selection in the Default Language dropdown. If you wish to add a new localization to your app, you can do so from the App Localization section of your app's version details page. Adding a new localization will require a binary update so that Apple can review it.
    If you need assistance translating your metadata into additional languages, there are third party vendors who can provide internationalization and localization services for your app.
    Regards,
    The App Store team    
    I then rejected my binary to be able to add languages. However, I can't seem to find the Danish language, only Swedish, which is a neighbor to Denmark, but not the same language. What to do?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    /Lasse Bunk

    I recevied same message from Itunes, but my defualt language  is arabic, and it's not available , so I did only translet the metadata to english + arabic .. and I didn't reject the binary but I don't apple will accept this or no, and I don't how they asked us to change the defualt language  to our language  that is not available in itunes !!

  • ITunes connection timed out problem. Please help

    Hey guys, I've purchased an iPod Touch 4th Gen recently but a problem I've had after installing iTunes is connecting to the internet. I haven't even got the software on the iPod Touch due to an error - "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your internet settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
    Here's a similar error message which comes up -
    http://turbo.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2009/11/itunes-connection-timed-out.jpg
    The frusterating thig is that know one has a clue about the problem or the solution. I've tried everything you name it, from disabling the firewall, disabling the anti-virus, disabling any other programs which may affect iTunes. I've tinkered with the different internet setting, looked out programs allowed in the firewall and iTunes is definitely allowed. And my internet connection is perfect and very very fast. I don't use wireless but an Ethernet cable. There are absolutely NO problems with my internet connection WHATSOEVER.
    So I was thinking whether the time I decided to install is the problem? Maybe it was peak time (I tried it at 17:00pm UK Time) and now its 22:25pm UK time. Maybe it's a time where many users are online? But if that was the case surely I would have been successful atleast once?
    Please help, I'm getting really really desperate. Thanks you ever so much

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect it to your new computer and restore it via iTunes. Note that you will lose all content on the iPod. You can redownload apps at no additional cost provided you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.

    Every time I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer to sync, iTunes stops responding.  I need to shut it down and restsrt to access iTunes.  I have removed and redownloaded iTunes and the problem continues.

    Try disconnect your computer from the internet and see if you can open iTunes and connect your device without crash.
    if iTunes does open without crash, go to iTunes Menu Edit > Preferences, "Advanced" tab and click the "Reset Cache" button, OK.
    Close your iTunes.
    Now, use Windows Explorer to delete the contents of Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download
    You may now re-connect your internet then see if you can open iTunes and connect your device without issues.

    When uploaded image is rejected, there should also be a text explanation...in red, across the top...example:
    The screenshot test.jpg is the wrong size. Screenshots must be 320x480, 480x320, 460x320 or 480x300 pixels.
    I believe it will give that same message when the size is correct but the suffix/file type is wrong.
    As well, you need to rename when pushing a revised image...if it has rejected an image once, that name is temporarily blacklisted and it will reject it again, even if you mod the dimensions... Change the name, correct the H/W, save it as a .jpg, then reup - there is no problem on the back end - it will go smoothly once you get your images correctly sized and uniquely named.
    What browser/platform are you using to upload? I don't see a broken chain....and this is with the new ITC interface as well.
