product-localization-strategy

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps product teams and indie developers prioritize markets, choose which languages to support first, estimate translation costs, and design a robust translation and QA workflow so localization spending is tied to measurable ROI rather than guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Market prioritization: language tiers with estimated revenue lift and category-specific recommendations to pick the highest-ROI locales first.
• Minimum viable localization levels: clear Level 0/1/2 definitions with cost and timeline estimates so teams can stage investment and measure impact.
• Translation workflow & Xcode guidance: step-by-step export/import with Xcode String Catalogs, recommended AI+human review pipeline, and QA checklists.
• ASO and cultural adaptation: localized keyword research approach, screenshot and metadata guidance, RTL and formatting considerations, and testing plans.
• Use case: An indie iOS developer deciding which 2–3 Tier 1 languages to ship Level 0 metadata for and whether to progress to full UI localization after measuring downloads.

Quick Start

Ask product-localization-strategy for a 6-week roadmap recommending two Tier 1 languages, estimated Level 0 costs, and an Xcode export/import workflow for a medium-sized iOS app.
