Name Pronunciation App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Pronounce Name, Phonetic Name, Contact Pronunciation & 姓名发音 / 名字读音 / 发音标注 zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS app markets Name Pronunciation on the product page — Pronounce Name, Phonetic Name, Phonetic First Name / Phonetic Last Name, Contact Pronunciation, or frames that show how to teach Siri and Phone the correct reading of a contact's name — and the US listing looks polished.
Open the same app on the China storefront and buyers still land on an English product page.
Title, subtitle, description, and screenshot overlays that read "Name Pronunciation", "Pronounce Name", "Phonetic Name", or "Contact Pronunciation" in Latin script while system iOS on Chinese iPhones labels the same workflow 姓名发音, 名字读音, or 发音标注.
Shipping phonetic contact fields 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 — not CNContact phonetic API engineering, not Contact Poster visual design, not NameDrop exchange flows.
AppLocale does not sell separate twin pages for pronounce-name, phonetic-name, contact-pronunciation, contact-name-pronunciation, say-my-name, or name-phonetics — those intents fold onto this Name Pronunciation-as-lead page.

Western indie iOS and communication-app developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Ship an app that markets Name Pronunciation, phonetic contact fields, or correct name reading as a buyer-facing feature — contact managers, CRM apps, caller-ID utilities, networking tools, or accessibility apps that showcase phonetic name entry and Siri pronunciation training
Finished the en-US listing — name, subtitle, keywords, description, and Name Pronunciation-oriented screenshot captions — and passed US App Review
Already support phonetic first/last name fields, pronunciation editors, or teach-Siri-how-to-say flows in the app (not looking for CNContact phonetic API or Speech framework engineering help)
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Name Pronunciation badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for phonetic key wiring, not a designer to re-render every Contacts pronunciation mockup PNG
If your app markets Contact Posters — full-screen photo, font, and color posters for incoming calls — see Contact Posters listing (zh-Hans); that page covers visual call posters, not phonetic name reading. If you sell NameDrop proximity exchange, see NameDrop listing (zh-Hans). If your hero is general Add to Contacts save flows, see Add to Contacts listing (zh-Hans). If your lead is Name Recognition called-name accessibility alerts — not how Siri pronounces stored contacts — see Name Recognition listing (zh-Hans).
Name Pronunciation engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume phonetic contact support covers storefront language. iOS, Contacts framework, and Connect actually separate pronunciation behavior from product-page copy:
Phonetic First Name & Phonetic Last Name — CNContact phonetic keys that tell Siri, Phone, CarPlay, and text-to-speech how to read a stored name. Controls in-device pronunciation — not App Store language.
Pronunciation / Pronounce Name editor — Contacts or in-app flows where users record or type how a name should sound. Your listing may show the editor; building pronunciation UI is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Siri & Phone readback — when a call arrives or Siri speaks a contact aloud, phonetic fields drive the spoken form. Marketing screenshots often show this outcome — distinct from visual Contact Posters.
CNContactStore & ContactsUI — APIs for reading and writing phonetic name components. Configuring phonetic persistence is engineering — AppLocale does not touch it.
Speech & pronunciation training — optional Siri training sheets some apps reference. Separate from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains pronunciation value to buyers.
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 phonetic field support in the binary.
Working Name Pronunciation flows and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other.
Name Pronunciation vs Contact Posters vs NameDrop vs Contacts hub vs Siri vs Name Recognition
US/EU indie teams often conflate contact-adjacent string families. This page covers product-page listing copy that markets phonetic and pronunciation fields as the hero feature — how Siri and Phone speak a contact's name correctly:
Name Pronunciation marketing (this page) — paragraphs and frame text explaining "Name Pronunciation", "Pronounce Name", "Phonetic Name", "Phonetic First Name", "Contact Pronunciation", 姓名发音, 名字读音, 发音标注, and 联系人发音. Phonetic field entry and correct name reading in Contacts and Phone.
Contact Posters (different — sibling only) — full-screen photo, font, and color posters for incoming calls and contact cards — 联系人海报, 来电海报. Covered on our Contact Posters guide. Visual poster design, not phonetic reading — that page has zero Pronunciation / 发音 / phonetic as-lead.
NameDrop & contact exchange (different — sibling only) — proximity contact-card swap when two iPhones come together — 名片投送, 轻碰传联系人. Covered on our NameDrop guide — nearby exchange, not phonetic name fields.
Add to Contacts & Contacts hub (different) — Add to Contacts, Save contact, New contact, general address-book browse. Covered on our Add to Contacts guide — manual save flows, not pronunciation fields as-lead.
Phone & CallKit (different when dialer-as-lead) — native dialer and incoming-call UI when the hero is general calling, not phonetic name reading. See CallKit listing (zh-Hans) for native call UI scope — mention Phone only in contrast when pronunciation still leads your gallery.
Siri & Type to Siri hubs (different) — voice assistant feature marketing — not contact phonetic fields as-lead. Do not cannibalize Siri hub pages with pronunciation-as-lead copy pasted where assistant features belong.
Name Recognition (different — sibling only) — notify when someone says my name accessibility alerts — 姓名识别, 叫到名字时通知. Covered on our Name Recognition guide — ambient name detection, not how Siri pronounces a stored contact.
You can localize the app name and still leave every Name Pronunciation screenshot overlay and description paragraph English-only. Buyers then see a Chinese title with English "Phonetic Name" badges — a mismatch that reads like half-finished localization. See also China App Store still shows English when entire rows fall back.
No twin slug pages — pronounce-name and phonetic-name belong here
AppLocale does not maintain separate twin pages for these slugs when Name Pronunciation dominates your lead gallery:
pronounce-name / phonetic-name — pronounce and phonetic name search intents fold here when contact pronunciation dominates — not as duplicate SKU pages
contact-pronunciation / contact-name-pronunciation — contact pronunciation vocabulary belongs on this page — AppLocale does not publish duplicate slug files
say-my-name / name-phonetics — say-my-name and name-phonetics intents fold onto this Name Pronunciation-as-lead page
If your en-US product page leads with Name Pronunciation badges, phonetic field editors, and Pronounce Name marketing on gallery frames, order AppLocale copy scoped to this Name Pronunciation page — not Contact Posters visual copy, not NameDrop exchange copy, not general Contacts hub copy, and not duplicate slug files AppLocale does not publish.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Name Pronunciation copy is missing
Contact- and communication-conscious purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate pronunciation trust 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 name-pronunciation positioning
Untranslated Name Pronunciation badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Name Pronunciation", "Pronounce Name", "Phonetic Name", "Phonetic First Name", or "Contact Pronunciation" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Pronunciation value in English — description opens with US Name Pronunciation marketing ("Teach Siri how to say names correctly") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 姓名发音, 名字读音, 发音标注, or 联系人发音; 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
Confused with Contact Posters — 联系人海报 or incoming-call poster language pasted where phonetic field marketing belongs — visual posters are not pronunciation reading
Confused with NameDrop exchange — 名片投送 or tap-two-phones paragraphs where phonetic name entry belongs
Confused with Name Recognition — 姓名识别 or called-name alert language where Siri pronunciation of stored contacts belongs
Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 for Apple's pronunciation feature instead of the phrasing Chinese storefront readers expect (姓名发音, 名字读音, 发音标注)
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps pronunciation-aware buyers understand correct name reading benefits before install. It does not replace CNContact phonetic engineering, Speech framework integration, or Apple's review decisions.
Name Pronunciation-specific listing copy — what translates differently
Phonetic name listings use vocabulary general Contacts hub guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe Apple's pronunciation fields — not a literal paste of US marketing:
姓名发音 vs 名字读音 vs 发音标注
US pages use "Name Pronunciation", "Pronounce Name", "Phonetic Name", or "Contact Pronunciation." Chinese App Store readers and iOS coverage use 姓名发音 for the feature badge, 名字读音 when screenshots emphasize spoken readback, 发音标注 for phonetic annotation or phonetic field entry, and 联系人发音 when the frame shows per-contact pronunciation in Contacts or Phone. AppLocale aligns phrasing with Apple's consumer-facing terms while keeping your app's voice — not inventing pronunciation capabilities your app does not support.
Phonetic First Name / Phonetic Last Name fields
Screenshot overlays differ by editor step — phonetic first name, phonetic last name, pronunciation recording, or Siri training confirmation. Chinese buyers expect concise action labels: 名字拼音 for phonetic first name when appropriate, 姓氏拼音 for phonetic last name, 发音标注 for annotation fields, 教 Siri 正确发音 for teach-Siri flows. Mixing English "Phonetic First Name" with Chinese body copy on the same frame looks inconsistent.
Siri, Phone, and caller readback
Name Pronunciation value appears when Siri speaks a contact aloud, when Phone announces an incoming caller, or when CarPlay reads a name. zh-Hans overlays may use Siri 正确读出姓名 or 来电姓名发音 where each matches your frames — distinct from Contact Posters visual incoming-call art covered on the Contact Posters guide.
Do not conflate with Contact Posters or NameDrop
Contact Posters marketing shows photo, font, and color poster design — not phonetic reading. NameDrop marketing shows two iPhones exchanging contact cards — not phonetic field entry. If your app does both, scope each screenshot frame accurately: pronunciation editor on one frame, poster design or NameDrop exchange on another.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need pronunciation search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 姓名发音, 名字读音, 发音标注, and 联系人发音 each signal different intent from Contact Posters, NameDrop exchange, or general Contacts keywords.
Screenshot caption examples
Gallery frames that show pronunciation integration need one-line zh-Hans overlays aligned to frame content — not English defaults left on mockups:
Name Pronunciation badge on Contacts frame → “姓名发音，让 Siri 正确读出联系人姓名”
Phonetic field entry demo → “添加发音标注，避免读错名字”
Teach Siri flow frame → “教 Siri 正确发音，来电播报更准确”
Phonetic First Name editor → “填写名字拼音，语音助手读音更自然”
Incoming call readback demo → “来电姓名发音正确，沟通更顺畅”
CRM contact card with pronunciation → “联系人发音标注，团队不再叫错名字”
AppLocale adapts examples to your English source claims — we do not invent pronunciation capabilities, Contact Poster support, or NameDrop exchange features your app does not ship.
Common mistakes on Name Pronunciation zh-Hans listings
Assuming phonetic field support localizes automatically — pronunciation editor shipped; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and screenshot caption lines still English
Reusing US Name Pronunciation badges verbatim — Latin "Phonetic Name" badges on zh-Hans screenshots signal an unfinished localization
Cloning Contact Posters copy — 联系人海报 or incoming-call poster language where phonetic field marketing belongs; see Contact Posters listing (zh-Hans)
Cloning NameDrop exchange copy — 名片投送 or tap-two-phones paragraphs pasted where Name Pronunciation editor marketing belongs; see NameDrop listing (zh-Hans)
Cloning Name Recognition copy — 姓名识别 or called-name alert language where Siri pronunciation of stored contacts belongs; see Name Recognition listing (zh-Hans)
Cloning general Contacts hub copy — Save contact and New contact language where the hero story is phonetic pronunciation; see Add to Contacts listing (zh-Hans)
Conflating listing copy with setup instructions — description explains how to open Contacts → pronunciation field in Settings instead of what the buyer gets; setup instructions belong in support docs, not AppLocale scope
Translating the in-app permission string only — system Contacts phonetic sheet may show Chinese from iOS while the App Store product page stays English
Opening duplicate twin slugs — pronounce-name, phonetic-name, and contact-pronunciation pages are not separate AppLocale SKUs; those intents belong on this Name Pronunciation-as-lead page
Expecting AppLocale to implement CNContact phonetic keys or Speech pronunciation APIs — phonetic persistence, Siri training, and readback logic are outside listing rewrite
Connect checklist before you order Name Pronunciation listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm Name Pronunciation or phonetic field features work in your build — note that we do not change CNContact phonetic keys, Speech APIs, or portal settings 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 Name Pronunciation marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Name Pronunciation", "Pronounce Name", "Phonetic Name", "Phonetic First Name", "Phonetic Last Name", "Contact Pronunciation", "Teach Siri how to say my name")
Count screenshot frames — note how many iPhone slots show phonetic field editors, pronunciation recording UI, Siri training confirmation, or caller readback demos
Separate listing from in-app UI — listing rewrite does not cover storyboard strings or pronunciation editor labels inside the binary
Note which pronunciation surface if marketed — phonetic field entry, Siri training, incoming-call readback, or CRM card annotation — so zh-Hans copy stays accurate
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 Name Pronunciation-marketing 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 — name-pronunciation or phonetic-name phrasing within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (姓名发音, 名字读音, 发音标注 where relevant)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Name Pronunciation listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Name Pronunciation", "Pronounce Name", "Phonetic Name", "Contact Pronunciation", 姓名发音, 名字读音, 发音标注, 联系人发音, and similar frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on pronunciation promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Name Pronunciation marketing listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is Connect listing metadata; bundle IAP display names or promotional-only passes via the AppLocale product page if needed.
What AppLocale does not do
Does not implement CNContact phonetic keys, Speech pronunciation training, or Siri readback pipelines
Does not write phonetic field persistence, pronunciation recording, or caller-ID readback integration code
Does not write Siri hub, Type to Siri, or general voice-assistant listing copy as the lead scope
Does not maintain separate pronounce-name, phonetic-name, contact-pronunciation, say-my-name, or name-phonetics twin listing pages — those fold onto this Name Pronunciation-as-lead SKU
Does not design, compose, or re-export screenshot PNG/JPEG assets — caption line sheets only
Does not localize in-app UI strings, storyboards, or the app binary
Does not manage Apple Search Ads, ad campaigns, or monetization strategy
Does not guarantee App Store rankings, Siri pronunciation accuracy, or download growth in China
Does not operate review-reply retainers or respond to App Store reviews on your behalf
Does not click Save or Submit in App Store Connect for you
Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers
How it works
Confirm scope — Name Pronunciation app with en-US listing done; identify which zh-Hans fields and screenshot caption lines are still English
Send intake — reply from the email on your Stripe receipt with your App Store listing URL, English Name Pronunciation marketing copy (all fields and caption lines), 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 shipping phonetic name fields auto-translate my China listing?
No. Phonetic keys, pronunciation editors, and Siri readback control in-app behavior — they do not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback.
What listing fields does AppLocale rewrite for Name Pronunciation 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 Name Pronunciation marketing originals.
Can AppLocale implement CNContact phonetic fields or Siri pronunciation training?
No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. Phonetic API engineering, pronunciation recording UI, Speech framework wiring, and caller readback logic are outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from Contact Posters, NameDrop, Contacts hub, or Name Recognition pages?
Contact Posters copy markets visual full-screen photo, font, and color posters for incoming calls — not phonetic reading. NameDrop copy markets proximity contact-card exchange. Contacts hub copy markets general address-book save flows. Name Recognition copy markets notify-when-someone-says-my-name accessibility alerts. This page is Name Pronunciation as the product-page theme: phonetic and pronunciation fields so Siri and Phone speak contact names correctly.
Does AppLocale sell separate pronounce-name or phonetic-name pages?
No. AppLocale does not maintain twin listing pages for pronounce-name, phonetic-name, contact-pronunciation, contact-name-pronunciation, say-my-name, or name-phonetics slugs. Those search intents fold onto this Name Pronunciation-as-lead page.
Why do screenshot captions still say "Phonetic Name" 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 Name Pronunciation badges on the product page.
Should zh-Hans copy use 姓名发音, 名字读音, or 发音标注?
Each appears in Chinese storefront and search contexts. AppLocale picks phrasing that matches your English listing claims and screenshot overlays — 姓名发音 for the feature, 名字读音 for spoken readback demos, 发音标注 for phonetic field entry — without inventing capabilities your app does not support.
What do I send after AppLocale payment?
Your live App Store listing URL, current English Name Pronunciation marketing listing (title, subtitle, keywords, description, promo if used, all screenshot caption lines), 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 Name Pronunciation listing copy improve Search ranking in China?
We do not guarantee keyword position, chart rank, or install growth. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps pronunciation-aware buyers who already found your page understand correct name reading benefits in their language.
How much does AppLocale cost?
$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.
What is AppLocale not?
Not CNContact phonetic or Siri pronunciation engineering, not Contact Posters visual poster listing copy, not NameDrop exchange engineering, not general Contacts or Phone hub listing copy, not Siri assistant hub listing copy, not Name Recognition called-name alert listing copy, not separate pronounce-name or phonetic-name twin pages, not screenshot design, not binary or in-app localization, not ads management, not ranking guarantees, not review-reply retainers, not QuantRadar, and not investment or legal advice. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers.
