Add to Calendar App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — zh-Hans Save Event & Calendar Sync Copy
Your iOS app already lets users add events to Calendar — maybe an Add to Calendar button on screenshots, a Save event sheet, a Remind me toggle, or marketing that sells Calendar sync — and the en-US product page tells that story.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page: name, subtitle, keywords, description, and screenshot captions that read "Add to Calendar", "Save event", "Calendar", or "Remind me" in Latin script.
Shipping EventKit save flows in the binary does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale writes paste-ready zh-Hans listing copy for those Connect fields — aligned with how your app actually saves calendar events, without conflating Calendar integration with In-App Events cards, Apple Journal suggestions, or Contacts pickers.

Western indie iOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Already ship an app that lets users save events to Apple Calendar — classes, bookings, reminders, meetups, or schedules exported via EventKit save flows
Market Add to Calendar, Save event, Remind me, or Calendar sync on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
Finished Calendar integration in the binary — not looking for EventKit or EKEventStore engineering help here
Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Calendar-themed frames
Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for calendar authorization, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch
If you publish App Store In-App Events (time-boxed event cards in Today and Search), that is a different Connect surface — see In-App Events in Simplified Chinese for per-event card metadata, not default listing Add to Calendar copy. If your app surfaces in Apple Journal Journaling Suggestions, see Journaling Suggestions listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English.
EventKit integration vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume shipping Calendar save in the app covers storefront language. Connect and iOS actually separate in-app event behavior from product-page copy:
EventKit / EKEventStore — your app creates or updates EKEvent records the user saves to Calendar. Controls in-app save sheets and permission prompts — not App Store language. AppLocale does not implement this.
Add to Calendar / Save event UI — in-app buttons and system sheets when users confirm an event. Localizing runtime UI requires Xcode string catalogs — outside AppLocale scope unless you bundle those strings in your listing brief as reference only.
Remind me / alerts copy — notification or reminder toggles tied to saved events may appear in screenshots. Listing caption lines describe buyer value — not alarm scheduling code.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Calendar integration.
A compliant US listing with Add to Calendar enabled and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other.
Calendar listing copy vs In-App Events vs Journaling Suggestions vs Contacts
US/EU indie teams often conflate four string families on scheduling-adjacent apps. This page covers product-page listing copy that markets saving events to Apple Calendar — not App Store campaign cards, Journal integration, or address-book pickers:
Listing description & screenshot overlays — paragraphs and frame text explaining "Add to Calendar", "Save event", "Remind me", "Sync with Calendar", or Calendar-themed gallery badges. This page.
App Store In-App Events — time-boxed event cards in Today, Search, and on your product page with their own event name, short description, and long description per event record. Covered on our In-App Events listing guide — not Add to Calendar product-page marketing.
Journaling Suggestions / Apple Journal — "Save to Journal", "Reflect in Journal", and Journal suggestion badges on the product page. Covered on our Journaling Suggestions listing guide — not Calendar event-save copy.
Contacts / people picker marketing — address-book import, pick a contact, or invite-from-contacts screenshot captions. A separate listing scope — not Calendar listing copy and not covered on this page.
You can localize the title and still leave every Add to Calendar screenshot overlay and description paragraph English-only. Buyers then see a Chinese name with English "Save event" badges — a mismatch that reads like half-finished localization. See also China App Store still shows English when entire rows fall back.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Calendar copy is missing
Schedule-conscious purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate Calendar integration value in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese scheduling positioning
Untranslated Calendar badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Add to Calendar", "Save event", "Remind me", "Calendar sync", or "Never miss an event" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Integration value in English — description opens with US Calendar-marketing ("One tap to save to Apple Calendar") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 日历, 日程, 提醒, or 同步; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 for "Add to Calendar" (添加到日历 vs 保存到日历 context) and wrong Remind me phrasing that does not match how Chinese buyers read store pages
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps schedule-conscious buyers understand Calendar integration before install. It does not replace EventKit implementation, calendar permission handling, or Apple's review decisions.
Calendar-specific listing copy — what translates differently
Calendar-integration listings use vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe saving events to Apple Calendar — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Add to Calendar phrasing
US pages use "Add to Calendar", "Save to Calendar", or "Sync with Apple Calendar." China storefront copy often uses 添加到日历, 保存到日历, or 同步到日历 — depending on whether you mean a one-tap export or ongoing sync. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual Calendar integration, not inventing sync features your app does not support.
Save event vs Remind me
Screenshot overlays and description leads reference action buttons users see when confirming an event — save a class, book a slot, set a reminder. Chinese buyers expect concrete action labels (保存日程, 添加提醒, 一键加入日历) rather than English slogans ("Never miss it", "Stay on schedule") that hide what the integration actually does.
Calendar sync claims
Some listings reference two-way sync or automatic updates when events change. These are factual product claims in description or screenshot copy — not substitutes for implementing EventKit save in your app, which AppLocale does not engineer.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need scheduling-relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 日历, 日程, and 提醒 each signal different intent from generic productivity keywords.
Caption lines vs burned-in badges
Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Add to Calendar" headlines on gallery frames — are separate caption fields or burned-in PNG text. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for caption-field mechanics when overlays are editable in Connect.
Common mistakes on Calendar zh-Hans listings
Assuming EventKit integration localizes automatically — save-to-Calendar code shipped; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and screenshot caption lines still English
Reusing US Calendar badges verbatim — Latin "Add to Calendar" badges on zh-Hans screenshots signal an unfinished localization
Conflating listing copy with In-App Events — description reads like an IAE event card or references Today tab featuring; default listing Add to Calendar copy is not In-App Events metadata
Mixing up this page with Journaling Suggestions — Apple Journal "Save to Journal" captions localized but Calendar save story still English on subtitle and description
Expecting AppLocale to implement EventKit — EKEventStore authorization, event creation, and calendar sync logic are outside listing rewrite
Connect checklist before you order Calendar listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm Calendar save is implemented — note whether users add one-off events, recurring schedules, or sync updates (we do not change your app code for you)
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export English Calendar-integration copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Add to Calendar", "Save event", "Remind me", "Calendar sync")
Count screenshot frames — note how many iPhone (and iPad if universal) slots need caption lines
Separate listing from in-app UI — listing rewrite does not cover storyboard strings or EventKit save sheets inside the binary
Plan caption re-export if text is burned into PNGs — Connect caption fields help when overlays are editable; English baked into image files needs design rework outside AppLocale
For one Calendar-integrated app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese copy for the listing fields you specify:
Title (name) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits
Subtitle — Calendar or scheduling positioning within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Calendar-integration listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Add to Calendar", "Save event", "Remind me", "Calendar sync", and similar Calendar-themed frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on integration promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Calendar-integration listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle additional caption lines via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement EventKit, EKEventStore, or calendar authorization code
Does not write App Store In-App Events metadata — see the In-App Events listing guide for per-event card copy scope
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, English Calendar-integration copy (all fields and caption lines), which save flows you support, screenshot frame count, and target locale (zh-Hans)
Receive files — within 24 hours, paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields arrive at your Stripe receipt email
Paste and submit — fill the zh-Hans row in Connect, enter caption lines per screenshot slot, save, and submit the version for review
Does AppLocale implement EventKit or EKEventStore?
No. We deliver App Store Connect listing metadata copy only. EventKit integration, calendar permission flows, and in-app save sheets are engineering tasks outside AppLocale scope.
Is Calendar listing copy the same as App Store In-App Events?
No. In-App Events are time-boxed campaign cards with separate event name, short description, and long description fields in Connect. This page covers default product-page copy for apps that let users add events to Apple Calendar — Add to Calendar, Save event, and Calendar sync marketing on the zh-Hans listing row.
How is this different from Journaling Suggestions or Contacts listing guides?
This page covers saving events to Apple Calendar on the product page. Journaling Suggestions covers Apple Journal integration copy like Save to Journal. Contacts listing copy covers address-book and people-picker marketing — a separate scope not covered here.
What listing fields does AppLocale rewrite for Calendar apps?
Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines — rewritten from your English Calendar-integration listing originals.
Why do screenshot captions still say "Add to Calendar" in English on China?
Caption and overlay fields are managed per localization. If you filled en-US screenshot text but never saved zh-Hans caption lines — or uploaded the same English-overlay PNGs to the Chinese set — China buyers see Latin Calendar-integration badges on the product page.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English Calendar-integration listing (title, subtitle, keywords, description, promo if used, all screenshot caption lines), which save flows you support, screenshot frame counts, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.
Will localized Calendar listing copy improve Search ranking in China?
We do not guarantee keyword position, chart rank, or install growth. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps schedule-conscious buyers who already found your page understand Calendar integration value in their language.
