Share Sheet App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — zh-Hans Share, Copy Link & Save Image Copy

Who this is for

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

• Already ship an app that presents the system Share sheet — UIActivityViewController, standard share actions, Copy Link, Save Image, Share to Messages, or Open in… rows — not a custom share-extension product as the primary story
• Market Share, Copy Link, Save Image, or export to other apps on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
• Finished Share sheet integration in the binary — not looking for UIActivityViewController or Share extension engineering help here
• Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Share-sheet-themed frames
• Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer to rebuild activity item providers, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch

If your app markets SharePlay synchronized FaceTime sessions — not the standard Share sheet — see SharePlay listing in Simplified Chinese. If your product is an iMessage sticker pack, see iMessage sticker pack listing. If your feature is opening files via the document browser, see Files & document browser listing. If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Share sheet engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume a working Share button covers storefront language. Xcode, system frameworks, and Connect actually separate share behavior from product-page copy:

• UIActivityViewController & Share extensions — in-app code that presents the system Share sheet or a custom Share extension target. Controls which content users can share or export. Does not generate Chinese listing text.
• Activity types & excluded activities — engineering choices about which share destinations appear. Separate from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains share value to buyers.
• Custom share actions — app-specific rows in the Share sheet or extension UI. Not App Store Connect listing fields.
• 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 Share sheet integration.

Working Share sheet flows in the binary and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe sharing on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you implement UIActivityViewController or Share extensions.

Share sheet listing copy is not SharePlay, iMessage stickers, or Files browser

Export-and-share apps blur several surfaces indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — the system Share UI on the product page:

• Share sheet (this page) — Share toolbar buttons, Copy Link screenshots, Save Image frames, Share to Messages marketing, Open in… action rows, and description copy about exporting content to other apps.
• SharePlay (different) — FaceTime synchronized watching, listening, or in-app group sessions through GroupActivities. Not the standard Share sheet — see SharePlay listing guide.
• iMessage sticker pack (different) — standalone Messages sticker apps or iMessage extension product pages. Not Share sheet export marketing — sticker packs have their own listing vocabulary.
• Files / document browser (different) — opening PDFs, folders, and iCloud Drive documents. Not Copy Link or Save Image marketing from the Share sheet — document-browser listing copy is a separate guide.
• AirPlay or Photos picker (different) — cast-to-TV or Choose Photos surfaces with their own screenshot vocabulary. Not Share sheet listing copy unless your gallery frame actually shows the Share UI.

Your screenshots may show multiple surfaces in one gallery. Listing copy should name the correct one per frame — a system Share sheet is not a SharePlay FaceTime tile, not a sticker grid, and not a Files document browser.

What China buyers see when zh-Hans Share sheet copy is missing

Productivity, social, and utility apps often lead marketing screenshots with the Share sheet — action rows, Copy Link confirmations, or Save Image success states — surfaces where English system chrome and your marketing blurbs appear together:

• English app name or subtitle — Search results and the product header show Latin script while competitors read native
• Untranslated keyword field — wasted 100-character cap; China Search indexes Simplified Chinese characters, not English "Share" alone
• English description — long body text that never mentions 分享, 复制链接, or how export works for China buyers
• Share sheet screenshot captions still in English — overlay lines like "Share", "Copy Link", "Save Image", "Share to Messages" on gallery frames targeting China buyers
• Open in… screenshots with English callouts — action row labels and destination names left untranslated on zh-Hans gallery art
• App Preview voiceover or burned-in English — Connect preview text fields can be zh-Hans even when video assets still carry English; redesigning burned-in video text is outside AppLocale scope

Better zh-Hans listing copy reduces product-page bounce for users who already search in Chinese — it does not auto-translate Share sheet UI after install.

Common mistakes on Share sheet listings for China

• Leaving "Share" as the only caption — branded English verb without a zh-Hans benefit line ("一键分享链接给好友") looks unfinished
• Literal "Copy Link" → 复制链接 alone — fine as a phrase, but caption should name what users copy (文章链接, 行程单, 配方) not just the English marketing label
• Machine-translated "Share sheet" as 分享表 — awkward; align with Apple's sharing framing and your actual UX
• Conflating Share sheet with SharePlay — description promises FaceTime 同播 when the app only presents UIActivityViewController export
• Caption lines that describe iMessage stickers — screenshot shows Share actions but copy talks about sticker packs
• Promising share destinations your build does not register — metadata must match available activity types; mirror vocabulary from your actual share rows
• English-only What's New after a share-feature launch — version notes are a separate field; base $79 focuses on evergreen listing fields unless you bundle What's New in intake
• Assuming Share sheet code localizes the store page — engineering and App Store metadata are independent workstreams

What good zh-Hans Share sheet listing copy looks like

Align tone with your en-US listing and name the share surfaces buyers actually see:

• Name & subtitle (30 chars each) — lead with the outcome (快速分享链接, 保存图片到相册) not SDK jargon
• Keywords (100 chars) — Simplified Chinese queries for sharing, copy link, save image, export where relevant — not English API names stuffed into the hidden field
• Description — one clear paragraph on what users can share or export (链接, 图片, 笔记, PDF) and which common actions appear in the Share sheet
• Screenshot captions — one line per frame naming the on-screen action: "点分享即可复制链接" not "Share"
• Honest scope — if sharing requires login, premium tier, or specific file types, say so in plain zh-Hans

Share sheet screenshot captions Chinese buyers expect

Notes, recipes, fitness, and reader apps often dedicate one or two gallery frames to the export story — the Share sheet half-modal, Copy Link toast, or Save Image confirmation. Overlay lines on those frames should name the feature in plain zh-Hans:

• Share action frame — describe the outcome: "一键分享至微信、邮件或其他 App" instead of "Share" alone
• Copy Link frame — name the content type: "复制文章链接，随时分享给好友" vs vague "Copy Link"
• Save Image frame — state what saves: "将图表保存到相册" — not English-only "Save Image"
• Share to Messages frame — explain the path: "通过信息发送给联系人" when art shows Messages in the action row
• Open in… frame — name the destination class: "在其他 App 中继续编辑" when screenshot shows third-party targets
• Match caption to capture — if the screenshot shows three action rows, the overlay should describe those rows — not generic share boilerplate

AppLocale includes Share-sheet-related overlay lines in the screenshot caption deliverable when your gallery uses them. We do not redesign or re-export PNG assets — you paste overlay text into Connect or your design tool.

Connect checklist before you order copy

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans localization row exists; adding China under Pricing and Availability alone does not fill it
2. Audit five text fields — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text (if used) saved in zh-Hans, not placeholder English
3. List screenshot frames that show the Share sheet — note which gallery images show action rows, Copy Link, Save Image, or Open in… so caption lines match frame order
4. Export current English captions — overlay text from Connect or your design spreadsheet, including any "Share" or "Copy Link" boilerplate
5. Confirm in-app UI language separately — plan Xcode string localization if Share sheet labels or custom share actions are still English after install
6. Skip engineering tasks here — UIActivityViewController wiring, Share extension targets, and activity exclusion lists stay with your dev team

What AppLocale delivers

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese listing metadata rewritten from your English App Store copy, with Share-sheet-aware phrasing:

• App name — up to 30 characters on the zh-Hans row
• Subtitle — up to 30 characters; visible under the name in Search
• Keywords — up to 100 characters in the hidden keyword field
• Description — long listing body explaining share-and-export value for China buyers
• Screenshot caption lines — overlay text for frames showcasing Share, Copy Link, Save Image, Share to Messages, or Open in… UI (send frame count and current English lines)

• Does not edit App Preview video files or burn new subtitles into video assets
• Does not manage Apple Search Ads, Custom Product Pages, or In-App Event scheduling
• Does not write App Review replies or ongoing ASO retainers
• Does not guarantee App Store ranking, keyword position, or download growth in China or elsewhere
• Is not QuantRadar, not paid ads management, and not investment or legal advice
• Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers

FAQ

Does AppLocale implement UIActivityViewController or a Share extension?

No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect metadata — name, subtitle, keywords, description, and screenshot caption lines on your zh-Hans product page. UIActivityViewController integration, Share extension targets, activity item providers, and custom share-sheet actions are engineering tasks we do not perform.

How is Share sheet listing copy different from SharePlay, iMessage stickers, or Files browser?

Share sheet listing copy covers the system Share UI — Share, Copy Link, Save Image, Share to Messages, and Open in… marketing on your product page. It is not SharePlay or FaceTime synchronized sessions, not iMessage sticker pack listing copy, and not Files app or document-browser listing copy. Those are separate scopes with different screenshot vocabulary.

What do I send after AppLocale payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines that mention sharing (with frame order noted), and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

Does localizing my listing change the in-app Share sheet?

No. System Share sheet UI and share-extension labels come from your binary — not Connect listing fields. AppLocale covers product-page marketing copy only.

Will zh-Hans Share sheet 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 share-and-export value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
