Show & Duration (Caption Display Duration) App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 显示时长 & 字幕显示时长 zh-Hans Copy
Your en-US listing markets Show & Duration — Apple's built-in accessibility control under Settings → Accessibility → Subtitles & Captioning → Style → Show & Duration — where iOS lets users extend how long captions and subtitles stay on screen after speech ends, so slower readers and deaf or hard-of-hearing buyers have more time to finish reading each cue — but the China App Store product page still shows English title, subtitle, description, and caption lines.
Show & Duration controls caption on-screen duration and display timing — not Closed Captions + SDH track toggles or caption font/color style presets (隐藏式字幕 / 字幕样式), not Live Caption real-time speech subtitles (实时字幕), not Speak Selection selected-text read-aloud (朗读所选内容), not Speak Screen full-page narration (整屏朗读), not App Preview timed subtitle scripts, and not AVFoundation subtitle cue authoring.
Mentioning Show & Duration on your US page does not auto-fill a Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization row.
AppLocale rewrites paste-ready zh-Hans listing fields that describe your existing caption display-duration and 显示时长 story — not subtitle timing engineering, not caption player UI code, not screenshot design.
Listing copy only — we do not implement Show & Duration in your app, we do not guarantee rank, and we do not invent reviews or metrics.

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:
Already ship or market an app whose buyers rely on Show & Duration — streaming, video, education, or accessibility apps that respect iOS caption display timing, or gallery frames that show Settings → Subtitles & Captioning → Style → Show & Duration sliders
Market Show & Duration, caption on-screen duration, extended subtitle display time, or 显示时长 / 字幕显示时长 / 字幕停留时间 on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
Finished media playback or caption-timing-adjacent UX in the binary — not looking for WebVTT cue duration or MACaptionAppearance engineering help here
Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Show Duration gallery frames
Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for subtitle timing APIs, not a designer to re-export every caption-duration screenshot from scratch
Caption timing engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs
US/EU indie teams conflate caption display-duration capability with storefront language. iOS Settings and App Store Connect actually separate them:
Show & Duration on the device — under Settings → Accessibility → Subtitles & Captioning → Style → Show & Duration, users adjust how long captions and subtitles remain visible after the associated speech ends. System accessibility behavior — outside AppLocale scope.
AVFoundation subtitle cues & caption dwell logic — in-app code that sets WebVTT start/end times, extends cue visibility, or respects system caption display preferences via Media Accessibility APIs. Engineering inside the binary — not listing rewrite.
Show & Duration marketing on the product page — description paragraphs, subtitle positioning, keywords, promotional text, and screenshot overlays that tell buyers your app supports extended caption display time, readable subtitle pacing, or Show & Duration alignment. Connect text fields — this page.
Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China storefront. Separate from language rows.
App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and screenshot caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of how strongly your US listing markets Show & Duration.
An app that ships caption-aware playback with readable dwell timing in the binary and a localized China listing are both valuable — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Show & Duration and caption display-duration accessibility on the store page, not whether subtitle cues render with the correct millisecond timing inside your video player.
What Apple Show & Duration is — and what your listing may claim
Apple ships Show & Duration under Settings → Accessibility → Subtitles & Captioning → Style. When adjusted, the device keeps captions and subtitles visible longer after dialogue ends — giving users more time to read each line before it disappears. Western indie listings often show one or more of these surfaces on the US product page. AppLocale covers paste-ready zh-Hans copy for whichever your screenshots and description already claim:
Show & Duration slider (显示时长) — system control that extends caption on-screen time. Gallery frames may show the Style settings branch with a duration slider or before/after caption visibility demos.
Extended subtitle display time (字幕显示时长) — marketing copy when your English listing promises captions stay readable longer, subtitles linger after speech ends, or pacing suits slow readers and cognitive accessibility.
Caption dwell in your app (字幕停留时间) — in-app video players, lesson modules, or streaming sessions that respect system Show & Duration preferences or ship their own extended caption visibility. Screenshot overlays often show caption bars lingering on screen or timing controls beside subtitle text.
Readable caption pacing for accessibility — when your English gallery frames target deaf, hard-of-hearing, dyslexic, or language-learning buyers who need more reading time per cue — distinct from font/color style presets in the same Style menu.
Your gallery may lead with a Show & Duration slider on one frame and an in-app video player with extended caption bars on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct surface per frame — a duration slider is not a Closed Captions + SDH toggle, a Live Caption speech-to-text overlay is not Show & Duration unless that is what the screenshot shows, and a Speak button is not caption display timing.
Show & Duration listing copy vs Closed Captions, Live Caption, and read-aloud guides
Several shop guides cover adjacent Apple Accessibility caption and speech features. This page covers Show & Duration and caption display-duration marketing on listing metadata — not engineering, not unrelated category copy:
Show & Duration and caption on-screen duration (this page) — extended caption visibility, subtitle display timing, Show & Duration sliders, and 显示时长 / 字幕显示时长 / 字幕停留时间 on gallery frames and in description paragraphs.
Closed Captions + SDH and caption style presets (different) — embedded closed-caption tracks, SDH subtitles, font/color/background style presets — 隐藏式字幕, 听障字幕, 字幕样式. Covered on our Closed Captions listing guide when track toggles and visual style are your lead claim — not how long captions stay visible. Closed Captions enables tracks; Show & Duration adjusts how long each cue remains on screen.
Live Caption real-time speech subtitles (different) — on-device speech-to-text captions for heard audio — 实时字幕. Covered on our Live Caption listing guide when real-time generated captions are your lead claim — not extended display time for existing caption cues. Live Caption generates subtitles from live audio; Show & Duration controls visibility timing after captions appear.
Speak Selection & selected-text read-aloud (different) — highlight text and hear only the selection spoken — 朗读所选内容, 朗读选择. See Speak Selection listing guide — read-aloud playback, not timed caption bars on video.
Speak Screen & full-page read-aloud (different) — swipe-to-read everything visible on screen — 朗读屏幕, 整屏朗读. See Speak Screen listing guide — full-page narration, not caption display duration on media.
App Preview video captions (different) — timed subtitle lines on your App Store product-page preview video. See App Preview captions listing guide — store marketing preview scripts in Connect, not iOS Settings Show & Duration behavior.
Audio Descriptions (different) — narrated visual description tracks for blind and low-vision users — 口述影像. See Audio Descriptions listing guide — spoken scene description, not subtitle dwell timing.
VoiceOver & screen reader (different) — screen reader navigation — 旁白. See VoiceOver listing guide — different buyer intent from 显示时长.
You can localize the title and still leave every Show & Duration screenshot overlay and caption-timing demo paragraph English-only. Buyers then see a Chinese name with English "Show & Duration" badges — a mismatch that reads like half-finished localization. See also China App Store still shows English when entire rows fall back.
Where English Show & Duration copy shows on the China product page
Western indie teams often market caption display-duration accessibility or readable subtitle pacing on the US page but leave storefront timing marketing English-only. On the China storefront, English surfaces in places buyers actually read:
Screenshot overlay badges — "Show & Duration", "Extended caption time", "Captions stay longer", "Readable subtitle pacing", "More time to read captions" on gallery frames showing duration sliders, lingering caption bars, or Style settings captures
Description paragraphs — English value props about slow readers, cognitive accessibility, deaf and hard-of-hearing caption readability, or extended subtitle visibility that China readers skim past
Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 显示时长, 字幕显示时长, 字幕停留时间, or 字幕可读 when buyers filter for caption-timing accessibility apps
Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching Show & Duration in English above the description
Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but Show Duration screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 that conflates 显示时长 (Show Duration) with 实时字幕 (Live Caption), 字幕样式 (caption style presets), or 朗读所选内容 (Speak Selection) when your English source only claimed extended caption visibility
Better zh-Hans listing copy helps buyers who need more caption reading time understand your Show & Duration story before install. It does not replace WebVTT cue authoring, caption player engineering, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not require you to re-shoot an entire caption-bar screenshot gallery to mention 显示时长 in text.
What AppLocale delivers for Show & Duration apps on zh-Hans
This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Show & Duration and caption display-duration marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:
Name (title) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits when your English title does not signal caption timing accessibility to China searchers
Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference extended caption display time or 显示时长 without stuffing raw English badge text
Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 显示时长, 字幕显示时长, 字幕停留时间, and caption-timing accessibility apps in your category
Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on caption dwell workflows you already claim — without English-only "Show & Duration" jargon
Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
Screenshot overlay / caption lines — short zh-Hans text on gallery images that show duration sliders or lingering caption bars ("字幕显示更久", "显示时长可调", "字幕停留更从容")
English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on caption timing promises
We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Show & Duration, caption on-screen duration, or extended subtitle display time — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent caption timing features your app does not describe.
Show & Duration-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently
Caption display-duration marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe Show & Duration in iOS Settings — not a literal paste of US marketing:
Official Settings vocabulary
Apple's zh-Hans Settings UI uses 显示时长 for Show & Duration under 辅助功能 → 字幕与隐藏式字幕 → 样式 (Subtitles & Captioning → Style). Related commerce phrasing includes 字幕显示时长 (caption display duration), 字幕停留时间 (caption dwell time), and 字幕可读 (caption readability) when your gallery shows duration sliders or extended visibility demos. Listing copy should mirror that vocabulary — not generic 字幕 alone when your English source specifically claimed Show & Duration timing.
Show & Duration vs Closed Captions style presets
Closed Captions + SDH and caption style presets cover enabling embedded tracks and adjusting font, color, and background — 隐藏式字幕, 字幕样式. Show & Duration covers how long each caption cue stays visible after speech ends — 显示时长. Both live under Subtitles & Captioning → Style, but zh-Hans listing copy should not imply 字幕样式 when your English source only showed a duration slider.
Show & Duration vs Live Caption
Live Caption generates real-time speech-to-text subtitles for heard audio — 实时字幕. Show & Duration extends how long existing caption text remains on screen — 显示时长, 字幕显示时长. zh-Hans listing copy should not imply 实时字幕 when your English source only showed caption dwell timing or Show & Duration sliders.
Show & Duration vs Speak Selection and Speak Screen
Speak Selection reads highlighted text aloud — 朗读所选内容. Speak Screen reads everything visible on screen — 整屏朗读. Show & Duration controls timed caption visibility on video and media — 显示时长. If your English gallery shows a Speak button or two-finger swipe gesture, keep zh-Hans copy on read-aloud vocabulary, not caption display-duration claims.
Subtitle and keyword packing
The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need caption-timing search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 显示时长, 字幕显示时长, and 字幕停留时间 each signal different intent from 实时字幕 or 字幕样式 keywords.
Caption lines vs burned-in badges
Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Show & Duration" headlines on gallery frames showing duration sliders — 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.
Why English-only Show & Duration copy hurts China storefront conversion
Buyers who need more caption reading time browse the China App Store evaluating timing claims in the first scroll. Common failure modes when only en-US is filled:
Trust gap — Chinese word-of-mouth recommends a "caption-friendly" streaming app; buyer taps through and sees English "Show & Duration" with no zh-Hans context
Localized listing, English badges — description promises Chinese 显示时长 support; screenshot overlays still "Extended caption time" at the worst moment
Search intent miss — buyers search 显示时长 or 字幕显示时长; English-only keywords miss intent even when your app ships caption dwell alignment in the binary
Live Caption vocabulary bleed — machine-translated 实时字幕 appearing in zh-Hans copy when English source only claimed extended caption visibility, confusing buyers who wanted dwell timing not speech-to-text
Closed Captions style bleed — 字幕样式 appearing when English source showed a duration slider, not font/color preset demos
Competitor contrast — rivals with native zh-Hans Show & Duration and 字幕显示时长 copy look more serious about China buyers who care about 无障碍 and readable caption pacing
Clearer zh-Hans Show & Duration marketing reduces confusion on the product page. It does not replace subtitle cue timing implementation or caption player engineering — and it is not a substitute for caption dwell positioning your app does not claim.
Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished Show & Duration strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what caption timing scope you claim — while keeping accurate separation from Closed Captions style presets, Live Caption, and read-aloud marketing. AppLocale rewrites by hand; we do not deliver raw Google Translate or LLM output as finished copy.
What good zh-Hans Show & Duration listing copy looks like
Caption display-duration copy appears on screenshot galleries and in description skims. Strong Chinese strings lead with the benefit and state scope plainly:
Overlay: "字幕显示更久，从容读完每句" — duration-slider or lingering-caption frame with clear benefit line
Description paragraph: plain zh-Hans list of caption timing workflows you ship — Show & Duration alignment, extended subtitle visibility, readable caption pacing — matching what you actually describe on the US page
Subtitle: "显示时长可调" or "字幕停留更从容" within the ~30-character cap
Keywords: include 显示时长 / 字幕显示时长 / 字幕停留时间 only when accurate — do not keyword-stuff 实时字幕 if you only market caption dwell timing
Honest scope — do not claim Live Caption speech-to-text in Chinese if your app only ships extended caption visibility or Show & Duration alignment
zh-Hans and en-US strings can differ in length and structure when the underlying Show & Duration story is the same — avoid mirroring English comma-heavy promo lines character-for-character.
