Effects of Translating an iPhone App - Charts And Graphs, Breakdown by Countries
I know this data is a bit stale, so if anyone has questions, I'll try and answer them.
We're pretty open with our sales data, so ask whatever you want.
- nandemo 17y agoAndrew, this is cool but the graphs are all spikey; you should probably use either a histogram or a line graph that connects the actual numbers. By the way, is there a Japanese translation?
- andrewljohnson 17y agoThere is no Japanese translation yet... still looking for a translator. I understand that market is a big one too! As for the graphs... not much I can do. I just did screen grabs from AppViz. The spike down to zero after each day is a bug too :( I really should regrab these graphs and repost with the latest numbers. They are more interesting now.
- sradu 17y agoIf it's public information, how much did you pay per string in one language?
- andrewljohnson 17y agoWhen I first posted the job, I offered $7.00 for what amounted to about 200 words. I later decreased the offer to $5.00 and it seemed to work just as well. I bet even $3-4 would work OK. I offered people the same amount to edit someone else's translation.
- Luc 17y agoIn the PDF it said you didn't notice a change in sales in Belgium. I looked up Gaia GPS in the app store, and the description is still in English... Perhaps you didn't do a translation into Dutch, and only the French speaking part of the country is seeing the translation?
- Luc 17y agoOh wait, the Netherlands is in the 'improved most' category. Ok, so I guess your translation is just not enabled in (at least the Flemish part of) Belgium.
- DenisM 17y agoCool, thanks for posting. Given how money you make you might s well pay a professional translator for Japanese - you will be pleasantly surprised.
