Photos Places App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 地点, 地点相簿 & 照片地点 zh-Hans Copy
Your iOS or iPadOS app markets Photos Places on the product page — under Photos → Albums → Places, with gallery frames showing browse photos on a map grouped by where they were taken, the Places album, location clusters, photo map pins, and location-based albums for cities, neighborhoods, and trips.
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 "Places", "Browse on map", "Location clusters", or "Photos by location" in Latin script instead of 地点, 地点相簿, 照片地点, or 地图.
Shipping map browsing or location-album UX 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 Places gallery frames actually look, not Duplicates merge flows, People & Pets face albums, or iCloud Photos sync marketing.

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Ship or market a photo map, location album, or Places-style organizer whose buyers browse photos grouped by where they were taken
Market Photos → Albums → Places on the en-US product page — browse photos on a map, Places album, location clusters, photo map pins, city or neighborhood albums, trip albums, or 拍照地点 in screenshot galleries
Reference location-based albums, photos by city, map pin clusters, or relive trips on a map in description or caption copy
Finished map-browse, location-cluster, or Places-album UX in the binary — not looking for Core Location, MapKit, or reverse-geocoding engineering help here
Enabled the China storefront but the zh-Hans product page still shows English copy or untranslated Places badge lines on screenshots
Need paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields — not an engineer for geocoding pipelines, not a designer to re-render map screenshot PNGs, not Duplicates or People & Pets marketing copy
Places map utility vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
Teams assume photo location metadata on device covers storefront language. Map clustering, geocoding, and Connect actually separate in-app Places browsing from product-page copy:
Photos → Albums → Places — Apple's system surface where buyers browse location-grouped photos and the Places album on device. Controls on-device map and cluster behavior — not App Store language. AppLocale does not perform this.
Browse photos on a map — map view with pins or clusters showing where photos were taken. Your listing may show this map story on screenshots; describing buyer-visible map browsing is listing copy, not MapKit engineering.
Places album & location clusters — grids and clusters that group photos by city, neighborhood, landmark, or trip region. Product-page copy should describe that workflow; building location-metadata clustering is in-app engineering.
Photo map pins — individual pins or heat-style clusters on a map frame. Listing copy names pin and cluster value; implementing map annotation layers is engineering work, not Connect metadata.
Location-based albums — albums scoped to a city, neighborhood, vacation, or trip route. zh-Hans copy should describe buyer-visible place albums — 地点相簿 — without inventing geolocation claims your English listing does not state.
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 map-browse support in the binary.
Working Places map browsing and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Places, 地点, and 地点相簿 value on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you wire Core Location, reverse geocoding, MapKit, or PhotoKit location clustering in code.
Places listing copy vs Duplicates vs People & Pets vs Shared Albums vs iCloud Photos vs Memories
Location-map photo apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Photos Places map and location-album marketing on the product page:
Photos Places (this page) — Photos → Albums → Places: browse photos on a map, Places album, location clusters, photo map pins, city and trip albums, 地点, 地点相簿, 照片地点, 地图, and 拍照地点 vocabulary.
Photos Duplicates (different) — Photos → Albums → Utilities → Duplicates: find duplicate photos and videos, review groups, merge to free storage — 重复项目 and 合并重复项. See Duplicates listing guide — duplicate merge, not map pins.
People & Pets (different) — face-grouped people tiles and pet albums — 人物和宠物 and 人脸相册. See People & Pets listing guide — face clustering, not location clusters.
Shared Albums (different) — invite-based collaborative albums — 共享相簿. See Shared Albums listing guide — album invitations, not map browsing.
Memories & Memory movies (different) — For You auto-generated recap videos — 回忆 and 回忆影片. See Memories listing guide — Memory movie montages, not map-cluster browsing unless your frames show that surface.
Apple Photos photo library hub (different) — general albums browsing and library search. See Apple Photos & photo library guide — library organization as the hero, not the Places map screen.
Clean Up, Locked Folder, Featured Photos, Photos picker (different) — object removal, passcode vault, For You highlight grids, and import sheets — contrast only, not Places heroes.
Your screenshots may show a map pin cluster beside a duplicate-group grid or a People & Pets face tile. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Places map with location clusters is not a merge-duplicates review screen, not a face-grouped people album, and not an iCloud Photos sync badge unless that is what the frame shows.
What China buyers see when zh-Hans Places copy is missing
Location-map and trip-album app purchasers browsing the China App Store evaluate Places 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 map-browse or 地点 positioning
Untranslated Places badges on screenshots — overlay lines like "Places", "Browse on map", "Location clusters", "Photo map pins", or "City album" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
Map-browse value in English — description opens with US marketing ("See every photo on a map by location") that China readers skim past or misread
Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 地点, 地点相簿, 照片地点, 地图, or 拍照地点; 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
Calling Places general "photo library" — 图库 or 相册 fits album-browsing marketing; map-pin hero frames need 地点 or 地图 vocabulary instead
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps location-aware buyers understand Places map value before install. It does not replace Core Location integration, reverse geocoding, MapKit views, or Apple's review decisions.
Places listings use vocabulary general photo-library guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe map-based photo browsing — not a literal paste of US travel-marketing:
Places & 地点 / 地点相簿
US pages use "Places" on the album under Photos → Albums → Places. China storefront copy often uses 地点 for the Places surface and 地点相簿 for location-grouped album grids — especially on Places album tiles and cluster summary frames.
Browse on map & 地图 / 照片地点
Map-view screenshots with pins and clusters are core Places marketing. Chinese buyers expect 地图 for map frames and 照片地点 or 拍照地点 when copy emphasizes where each photo was taken — not English "Map" badges that hide the location-browse hook.
Location clusters & photo map pins
Cluster bubbles, pin stacks, and zoomed city regions appear frequently on Places screenshots. zh-Hans caption lines should name cluster and pin behavior buyers see — paired with the UI your gallery actually shows.
City, neighborhood & trip albums
Location-based albums scoped to a city block, neighborhood, vacation, or road trip need place-specific phrasing. Frames should pair trip-album copy with the geography your English listing claims — without inventing landmark detection your app does not market.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Places-relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 地点, 地点相簿, and 拍照地点 each signal different intent from 人物和宠物 face-album keywords or 重复项目 duplicate-cleanup terms.
Before / after — Places listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)
Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Duplicates merge or People & Pets face-album copy:
Screenshot caption — Before: Places → After: 地点
Description line — Before: Browse photos on a map by where they were taken → After: 在地图上按拍照地点浏览照片
Subtitle (30 chars) — Before: Photo map & place albums → After: 照片地图与地点相簿
Screenshot caption — Before: Places album → After: 地点相簿
Screenshot caption — Before: Photos by city → After: 按城市浏览照片
Screenshot caption — Before: Trip album on map → After: 地图上的旅行相簿
Keyword field — Before: Places,photo map,location albums,photos by location,trip photos → After: 地点,地点相簿,照片地点,地图,拍照地点,位置相册
Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Places surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for overlay mechanics.
Common mistakes on Photos Places zh-Hans listings
Assuming map browse localizes automatically — Places album UX ships in the app; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Places screenshot caption lines still English
Conflating Places with People & Pets — 人物和宠物 fits face albums; 地点相簿 fits location clusters
Conflating Places with Duplicates — 重复项目 fits merge cleanup; map frames need 照片地点 copy
Conflating Places with iCloud Photos sync — 照片云同步 fits cloud upload; map pins need 地图 vocabulary
Conflating Places with Memories — 回忆 fits Memory movie reels; trip map frames need 地点 copy
Conflating Places with Shared Albums — 共享相簿 fits collaborative invites; location browse needs 地点相簿 copy
English Places badges on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in badges on PNG exports are still Latin
Expecting AppLocale to implement MapKit or location clustering — geocoding and map engineering are outside listing rewrite
Connect checklist before you order Places listing copy
Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
Confirm which Places surfaces your app markets — map browse, Places album, location clusters, photo map pins, city or trip albums — listing copy must match your gallery frames
Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
Export current English Places marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Places", "Browse on map", "Location clusters", "Photo map pins", "City album")
List screenshot frames that show Places UI — note which gallery images show map views, pin clusters, Places album grids, or trip-region albums so caption lines match frame order
Separate listing from in-app place labels — listing rewrite does not cover city names or geocoded labels rendered inside the app after install
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 Photos Places–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 — Places or photo-map positioning within the ~30-character cap
Keywords — comma-separated zh-Hans search terms with rationale notes (地点, 地点相簿, 照片地点, 地图, 拍照地点 as appropriate)
Description — buyer-readable body copy aligned with your English Places listing meaning
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — zh-Hans replacements for "Places", "Browse on map", "Location clusters", "Photo map pins", "Places album", and city or trip album frame text
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on Places feature promises
24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake
Human rewrite from your current English Places 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 Core Location, reverse geocoding, MapKit, or PhotoKit location clustering in your app
Does not geocode buyer photo libraries or build map pin layers on buyer devices
Does not write Photos Duplicates merge listing copy when Places is not your hero — see Duplicates listing (contrast)
Does not write Shared Albums or iCloud Photos listing copy as the hero — see separate shop guides
Does not write Memories, Featured Photos, Locked Folder, or Clean Up listing copy as the hero
Does not write Live Photos, Photographic Styles, or Photos picker listing copy — separate buyer stories
Does not write Apple Pay, Wallet hub, Express Transit, Apple Card, Tap to Pay, Apple Cash, Dual SIM, iCloud Backup, Display Zoom, or Notification Summary listing copy
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 guarantee App Store rankings 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 — Places-themed 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 Places listing copy (all fields and caption lines), which map surfaces your gallery shows, 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. Success page: AppLocale thanks.
Does shipping photo-map browsing auto-fill my China App Store listing?
No. Map clustering, Places album organization, and location-metadata grouping 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 Places, Browse on map, Location clusters, 地点, 地点相簿, 照片地点, and 地图 — rewritten from your English originals.
Does AppLocale implement Core Location, MapKit, or location clustering?
No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. Core Location permissions, reverse geocoding, MapKit map views, and PhotoKit location-metadata engineering are outside AppLocale scope.
How is this different from Duplicates, People & Pets, Shared Albums, iCloud Photos, and Memories pages?
Why do my Places screenshot captions still say Places 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 地点, 地点相簿, or 照片地点 value.
Should zh-Hans copy use 地点 or 地图?
地点 and 地点相簿 fit Places album and cluster marketing. 地图 fits map-view screenshots with pins. 照片地点 and 拍照地点 fit frames that emphasize capture location. 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 map or Places album 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 Places 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 Places map value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
