Which localizations count in Turkey
Apple says people can search for your app using localized keywords in every country or region where the App Store supports that language (Apple). For Turkey, Apple lists 2 localizations (Apple: App Store localizations):
- English (U.K.): also listed in 48 other storefronts covered here.
- Turkish: listed only here among the storefronts covered here.
Each of these localizations has its own name, subtitle and 100-byte keyword field. Name and subtitle are visible to users, so keep them real text in that language. See App Store localization for keywords.
How people search in Turkey
Translate the intent, not the words: find the phrase people in Turkey type for the same need, then check that the top results are apps like yours. A step-by-step method is in App Store keyword research.
Check your App Store rank in Turkey
Your iPhone only shows the store of your Apple Account’s country. Apple’s public search data returns the top 200 apps for a term in any storefront; your rank is your app’s position in that list:
