Media Types App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 媒体类型, 媒体种类 & Photos Albums Hub zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:

• Ship or market a photo library organizer, smart-album browser, or format-classifier — or Photos-style app whose buyers open Media Types under Albums to reach format-specific smart albums
• Market the Media Types hub, Photos → Albums → Media Types, browse by media type, or a grid of format albums (Videos, Selfies, Live Photos, Portrait, Panoramas, Time-Lapse, Slo-mo, Bursts, Screenshots, Screen Recordings, Animated, RAW, Cinematic) on the en-US product page — not a single child album as the sole hero unless your gallery shows the full hub
• Finished Media Types-aware UX or on-device smart-album navigation in the binary — not looking for general photo-library browsing or iCloud Photos sync engineering help here
• Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Media Types badge lines on screenshots
• Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for PhotoKit queries, not a designer to re-render Media Types screenshot PNGs, not Memories or Featured Photos marketing copy

If your lead feature is general photo library browsing — Recents, All Photos, iCloud Photos, Shared Albums — see Apple Photos & photo library listing (zh-Hans). If your hero is a single format album — Videos alone, Selfies alone, Screenshots alone — those are separate shop guides (contrast only on this page). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Media Types hub organization vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume Photos smart-album capability on device covers storefront language. PhotoKit classification and Connect actually separate in-app library behavior from product-page copy:

• Photos → Albums → Media Types — the system section (媒体类型) listing smart albums grouped by capture format on the buyer's device. Controls on-device navigation — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
• Format-specific smart albums under the hub — Videos, Selfies, Live Photos, Portrait, Panoramas, Time-Lapse, Slo-mo, Bursts, Screenshots, Screen Recordings, Animated, RAW, Cinematic, and related rows. Listing copy may name the hub grid; building album queries is engineering work.
• Browse by media type — buyers open Media Types to jump into a format album instead of scrolling Recents. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; building hub UI is engineering.
• Hub vs child album framing — a screenshot showing the Media Types section header plus multiple format rows needs 媒体类型 hub vocabulary. A screenshot drilling into one Videos grid needs 视频相簿 copy on that frame — not the same hero as this hub page unless your English listing centers only Videos.
• 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 Media Types support in the binary.

Working Media Types hub navigation and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Media Types, 媒体类型, and format-album hub value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire smart albums in code.

Media Types hub vs individual format albums vs Recents vs Imports vs Places

Photos-themed apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Media Types hub marketing on the product page:

• Media Types hub (this page) — Photos → Albums → Media Types: the section that lists format smart albums — Videos, Selfies, Live Photos, Portrait, Panoramas, Time-Lapse, Slo-mo, Bursts, Screenshots, Screen Recordings, Animated, RAW, Cinematic — with 媒体类型, 媒体种类, and hub-grid vocabulary.
• Videos album alone (different) — the Videos smart album under Media Types, marketed as 视频相簿 / 视频 / 影片. Mention only as contrast when your frames show Videos beside other hub rows — not the Media Types hub hero unless your gallery centers the full section.
• Selfies album alone (different) — the Selfies smart album, marketed as 自拍相簿 / 自拍 / 前置摄像头. Contrast only — not the hub hero.
• Screenshots album alone (different) — covered on our Screenshots guide — 截屏相簿, not Media Types hub frames unless your gallery shows the full Media Types grid.
• Recents & All Photos (different) — general library surfacing (最近项目). Not the Media Types section — contrast only.
• Live Photos capture mode (different) — camera capture feature (实况照片). Covered on our Live Photos guide — not the Media Types hub hero unless your listing centers the hub grid.
• Burst & Portrait camera modes (different) — covered on Burst and Portrait Mode guides — camera-mode marketing, not the Media Types section header.
• Imports (different) — camera and SD card imported media. Covered on our Imports guide — 导入相簿, not Media Types hub grids.
• Places (different) — location-based albums. Covered on our Places guide — 地点相簿, not format-type hub marketing.
• Duplicates (different) — duplicate detection under Utilities. Covered on our Duplicates guide — 重复项目, not Media Types hub organization.
• Hidden & Recently Deleted (different) — covered on Hidden album and Recently Deleted guides — not format-type hub copy.

Your screenshots may show the Media Types section with six format rows, or a drill-down into one Slo-mo grid. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Media Types hub with multiple album badges is not a Recents timeline, not an Imports flow, and not a Live Photos capture tutorial unless that is what the frame shows.

What China buyers see when zh-Hans Media Types copy is missing

Photo-organizer app purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate format-browsing 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 媒体类型 or format-hub positioning
• Untranslated Media Types badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Media Types", "Browse by format", "Videos & Selfies albums", or "Smart albums" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
• Hub value in English — description opens with US smart-album marketing ("Every format, one tap away") that China readers skim past or misread
• Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 媒体类型, 媒体种类, 视频, 自拍, 实况照片, 截屏, or 慢动作; an English-only keyword row misses China Search intent for the hub and child albums
• Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
• Calling Media Types "Recents" or "All Photos" — machine translation that uses 最近项目 or 所有照片 for Media Types hub frames when your gallery shows the Albums → Media Types section — confusing buyers who expect 媒体类型 copy
• Collapsing the hub into one child album — using only 视频相簿 or 截屏相簿 vocabulary when your English gallery shows the full Media Types grid with multiple format rows — underselling the hub story AppLocale rewrites here
• Ignoring child-album labels on hub frames — buyers expect 视频, 自拍, 全景, 慢动作, 连拍, 屏幕录制 rows to read naturally in zh-Hans when visible on the hub screenshot — not Latin album names on a Chinese storefront

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps format-aware buyers understand Media Types hub value before install. It does not replace PhotoKit smart-album code, hub UI engineering, or Apple's review decisions.

Media Types hub listing copy — what translates differently

Media Types hub listings use vocabulary general photo-library guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe the format-album section — not a literal paste of US marketing:

Media Types & 媒体类型 / 媒体种类

US pages use "Media Types" on the Albums section header under Photos → Albums. China storefront copy often uses 媒体类型 on hub-header and multi-row grid frames. 媒体种类 fits alternate hub wording and keyword overlap when your English source says media kind or format category.

Photos → Albums → Media Types path

Action-oriented screenshots — open Albums, scroll to Media Types, browse format rows — need clear zh-Hans phrasing that mirrors Apple's Simplified Chinese Photos navigation: 照片 → 相簿 → 媒体类型 when your gallery shows that path.

Child album rows on hub frames (brief vocabulary)

Hub grids often show multiple format labels at once. Common zh-Hans pairs AppLocale aligns to your English frames — without making one child album the page hero:

• Videos — 视频, 视频相簿, 影片
• Selfies — 自拍, 自拍相簿
• Live Photos — 实况照片
• Portrait — 人像, 人像照片
• Panoramas — 全景, 全景照片
• Time-Lapse — 延时摄影, 延时拍摄
• Slo-mo — 慢动作
• Bursts — 连拍, 连拍照片
• Screenshots — 截屏, 截屏相簿
• Screen Recordings — 屏幕录制
• Animated — 动图
• RAW — RAW, 原始文件
• Cinematic — 电影效果, 电影模式视频

Hub vs drill-down framing

Subtitle and keyword packing for a Media Types-themed app should lead with hub intent — 媒体类型, 媒体种类, 按类型浏览 — before child-album terms. See Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. A Videos-only keyword row belongs on a Videos-focused page, not here, unless your English listing never shows the hub.

Before / after — Media Types hub listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)

Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — hub framing, not Recents browsing or a single Videos album hero:

• Screenshot caption — Before: Media Types → After: 媒体类型
• Description line — Before: Browse every format in one place → After: 在一个地方按媒体类型浏览
• Subtitle (30 chars) — Before: Smart albums by type → After: 按类型智能相簿
• Screenshot caption — Before: Photos → Albums → Media Types → After: 照片 → 相簿 → 媒体类型
• Screenshot caption — Before: Videos, Selfies, Live Photos → After: 视频、自拍、实况照片
• Screenshot caption — Before: Screen Recordings & Slo-mo → After: 屏幕录制与慢动作
• Keyword field — Before: Media Types,smart albums,browse by format,Videos,Selfies,Screenshots → After: 媒体类型,媒体种类,智能相簿,视频,自拍,截屏,慢动作,连拍

Final phrasing depends on your English claims, which format rows appear on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for overlay mechanics.

Common mistakes on Media Types zh-Hans listings

• Assuming smart albums localizes automatically — Media Types hub UX ships in the app; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
• Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Media Types screenshot caption lines still English
• Conflating Media Types with Recents or All Photos — 最近项目 fits general library browsing; 媒体类型 fits the Albums hub section
• Using a single child album as the whole story — 视频相簿 or 截屏相簿 alone when your gallery shows the full Media Types grid — undersells hub copy this page covers
• Conflating Media Types with Live Photos capture mode — 实况照片 fits Live Photos rows and camera capture marketing; the hub section still needs 媒体类型 header copy
• Conflating Media Types with Imports or Places — 从相机导入 and 地点相簿 fit those album types; Media Types is the format-classification hub under Albums
• English format row labels on zh-Hans hub screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in "Videos" or "Slo-mo" badges on PNG exports are still Latin
• Expecting AppLocale to implement PhotoKit smart albums — smart-album engineering is outside listing rewrite

Connect checklist before you order Media Types listing copy

1. Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
2. Confirm which Media Types surfaces your app markets — hub section header, multi-row format grid, drill-down into one format album, browse-by-type workflow — listing copy must match your gallery frames
3. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
4. Export current English Media Types marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Media Types", "Browse by format", format row names)
5. List screenshot frames that show Media Types UI — note which gallery images show the hub grid, section header, or drill-down into Videos Selfies Screenshots Slo-mo rows so caption lines match frame order
6. Separate listing from in-app album titles — listing rewrite does not cover smart-album labels rendered inside the app after install unless you bundle in-app string scope separately
7. 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

What AppLocale delivers

For one Media Types hub-themed 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 — Media Types or format-hub positioning within the ~30-character cap
• Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (媒体类型, 媒体种类, and relevant child-album terms as appropriate)
• Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Media Types hub listing meaning
• Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
• Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Media Types", "Browse by format", Photos → Albums → Media Types path text, and visible format row labels on hub frames
• English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on Media Types hub feature promises
• 24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake

Human rewrite from your current English Media Types listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle additional caption lines via the AppLocale product page if needed.

FAQ

Does smart-album organization auto-fill my China App Store listing?

No. Media Types hub organization and format-album navigation control runtime library behavior — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. If zh-Hans name, subtitle, keywords, description, or screenshot caption fields are empty or still English, the China storefront falls back to en-US copy.

Which App Store Connect fields does AppLocale rewrite?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese for listing fields you specify: app name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines such as Media Types, Photos → Albums → Media Types, browse by media type, format album hub rows, 媒体类型, 媒体种类, and visible child-album labels — rewritten from your English originals.

Does AppLocale implement PhotoKit smart albums in code?

No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. PhotoKit smart-album queries, format classification, and Media Types hub UI engineering are outside AppLocale scope.

How is this different from Videos, Selfies, Screenshots, and Recents pages?

Media Types listing copy covers Photos → Albums → Media Types — the hub section listing format smart albums on gallery frames. Videos-only, Selfies-only, and Screenshots-only pages center one child album. Recents and All Photos are general library surfaces — contrast only. Live Photos listing copy covers capture-mode marketing. Imports listing copy covers camera-import flows. Places listing copy covers location albums. Each surface has a separate guide.

Why do my Media Types screenshot captions still say Media Types in English on China?

Screenshot overlay lines and caption fields are per localization in App Store Connect. If you never filled zh-Hans caption fields — or pasted English into the Chinese screenshot set — China buyers see Latin script on frames meant to signal 媒体类型 or 媒体种类 hub value.

Should zh-Hans copy use 媒体类型 or 视频相簿?

媒体类型 and 媒体种类 fit the Media Types hub section and multi-row grid frames. 视频相簿, 自拍相簿, and 截屏相簿 fit individual child-album drill-down frames — related surfaces but not the primary Media Types hub hero unless your English listing centers only one child album. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English claims and screenshot frames.

What do I send after AppLocale payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English (or partial zh-Hans) name, subtitle, keywords, description, screenshot overlay lines with frame order noted, which frames show Media Types hub or format-row UI, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

Will zh-Hans Media Types copy improve China rankings?

We do not guarantee ranking, browse placement, or download lift. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps users who already find your page understand Media Types hub value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
