Split View & iPad Multitasking App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — zh-Hans Side by Side & Slide Over Copy

Who this is for

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

• Ship an iPad app whose product page prominently markets Split View, Side by Side, Slide Over, or classic iPad multitasking — reference alongside another app, companion panel workflows, or two-pane productivity layouts
• Market Work side by side, Split View ready, or Multitask on iPad screenshots on the en-US product page
• Finished Split View or Slide Over support in the binary — not looking for UISplitViewController, UIScene, or multitasking entitlement engineering help here
• Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on multitasking-themed gallery frames
• Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for scene configuration, not a designer to re-export every iPad screenshot from scratch

If your app markets Slide Over companion strip alone — narrow edge overlay, App Switcher shelf, not equal Split View panes — see Slide Over listing in Simplified Chinese. If your app markets Stage Manager windowing — not classic Split View panes — see Stage Manager listing in Simplified Chinese. If your lead feature is Drag and Drop between apps, see Drag and Drop listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Multitasking engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume iPad Split View support covers storefront language. Xcode, entitlements, and Connect actually separate in-app multitasking behavior from product-page copy:

• UISplitViewController & UIScene configuration — configured in your app to participate in Split View, Slide Over, and size-class transitions. Controls runtime multitasking behavior. Does not generate Chinese listing text. AppLocale does not implement this.
• iPad multitasking entitlements & size classes — scene support, window scenes, and layout rules that determine whether your app appears in Split View or Slide Over. Separate from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains multitasking value to buyers.
• In-app pane labels & toolbar titles — sidebar titles, inspector labels, and split-pane chrome on your screens. Your listing may mention Work side by side; implementing scene multitasking is engineering work, not listing copy.
• 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 Split View support in the binary.

Working Split View or Slide Over in the binary and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other.

Split View listing copy is not Stage Manager, Drag and Drop, or other iPad surfaces

iPad productivity apps blur several surfaces indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — the product-page gallery layer:

• Split View, Side by Side & Slide Over (this page) — Split View screenshots, Work side by side value props, and description copy about classic iPad multitasking and two-app reference workflows. If Slide Over alone — narrow edge strip, not equal panes — is your lead story, see Slide Over listing guide.
• Stage Manager (different) — 台前调度 resizable windows, app groups, and external-display multitasking badges. See Stage Manager listing guide — not Split View pane marketing.
• Drag and Drop (different) — Drag and drop badges, cross-app drag mockups, and Drop here zones. See Drag and Drop listing guide — not Split View pane copy.
• Share sheet (different) — Share, Copy Link, and export-to-other-apps marketing. See Share sheet listing guide — not multitasking pane copy.
• Files & document browser (different) — Open in Files, Browse documents, and Document picker marketing. See Files & document browser listing guide — not Split View workflows.
• Spotlight & iOS Search (different) — Search with Spotlight and find-it-in-Spotlight marketing. See Spotlight listing guide — not iPad multitasking copy.
• Mac Catalyst (different) — Designed for iPad and Also available on Mac availability badges. See Mac Catalyst listing guide — not Split View multitasking copy.
• Clipboard (different) — Copy to clipboard and paste-across-devices marketing. Not covered on this page — not Split View pane workflows.

Your screenshots may show multiple surfaces in one gallery. Listing copy should name the correct one per frame — a Split View two-pane mockup is not a Stage Manager window group, not a drag-and-drop lift animation, not a Share sheet, and not a Files import sheet.

What China buyers see when zh-Hans Split View copy is missing

iPad-first apps often lead marketing screenshots with Split View dividers, Slide Over panels, or side-by-side app pairs — surfaces where English overlay text appears beside system multitasking chrome:

• English title and subtitle — app name and tagline still Latin script while competitors show native Chinese Split View and Slide Over positioning
• Untranslated multitasking badges — overlay lines like "Split View", "Work side by side", "Slide Over", or "Multitask on iPad" remain English on zh-Hans gallery frames
• Multitasking value in English — description opens with US productivity marketing ("Use Split View to reference notes") that China readers skim past or misread
• Keyword field still en-US — buyers search 分屏, 侧拉, iPad 多任务, or 并排; 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
• Conflating Split View with Stage Manager — machine translation that promises 台前调度 when your app only supports classic Split View panes — mismatched expectations at install

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps iPad buyers understand Split View and Slide Over value before install. It does not replace UIScene engineering, in-app pane labels, or Apple's review decisions — and it must not claim system multitasking replacement or guaranteed Split View in every layout.

Split View-specific listing copy — what translates differently

Multitasking-centric listings use vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers describe iPad multitasking — not a literal paste of US marketing:

Split View vs Side by Side vs Slide Over

US pages use "Split View", "Side by side", "Slide Over", or "Work side by side." Chinese buyers expect concise 分屏, 并排, 侧拉, or iPad 多任务 phrasing rather than English slogans left on screenshot overlays — without implying you are the built-in multitasking system or support Split View in size classes your app does not ship.

Classic multitasking vs Stage Manager

Split View and Slide Over marketing describes the dock-and-drag multitasking model buyers know from iPadOS — two-app panes and floating companion panels. That is different from Stage Manager window groups and resizable 台前调度 layouts. Chinese buyers expect distinct vocabulary (分屏, 侧拉) rather than conflating classic multitasking with Stage Manager badges.

Multitasking marketing vs Drag and Drop gestures

Some Split View screenshots show drag-from-dock workflows to open a second app. Listing copy about running two apps side by side is different from Drag and drop content transfer between apps. Chinese buyers expect pane-layout vocabulary (分屏参考, 并排使用) rather than drag-gesture marketing (拖放, 拖拽) when the frame shows Split View dividers, not lift animations.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need multitasking search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 分屏, 侧拉, and iPad 多任务 each signal different intent from generic iPad productivity keywords.

Screenshot captions on Split View frames

Gallery frames that show Split View dividers, Slide Over panels, or side-by-side app pairs need one-line zh-Hans captions — "分屏参考，并排提高效率" not "Work side by side" burned into the product page story.

Common mistakes on Split View zh-Hans listings

• Assuming Split View support localizes automatically — UIScene multitasking wired in Xcode; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
• Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Split View screenshot caption lines still English
• Conflating Split View with Stage Manager — 台前调度 badges on screenshots when your app markets classic Split View panes; see Stage Manager listing guide for windowing copy, not this page
• Conflating Split View with Drag and Drop — drag-gesture marketing on frames that actually show two-pane layouts; see Drag and Drop listing guide for cross-app drag copy
• Calling the app "multitasking replacement" — 替代系统分屏 overclaims when the app only supports Split View in specific size classes or orientations
• Implying Slide Over when the app is full-screen only — listing claims 侧拉 when your binary does not participate in Slide Over scenes
• Conflating listing copy with in-app pane labels — sidebar titles and inspector chrome are binary localization, not Connect metadata
• English "Work side by side" on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in multitasking mockups on PNG exports are still Latin
• What's New still English after Split View launch — see What's New in Simplified Chinese when Split View or Slide Over support shipped in a recent version
• Expecting AppLocale to implement UISplitViewController or UIScene — scene configuration and multitasking entitlements are outside listing rewrite

Connect checklist before you order Split View listing copy

1. Confirm China under Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled if you intend to sell there
2. Confirm Split View, Slide Over, or side-by-side scope in your build — note that we do not change UIScene multitasking code or entitlements for you
3. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — note whether the zh-Hans row exists and which text fields are empty vs English placeholder
4. Export English multitasking marketing copy — current en-US title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and every screenshot overlay line ("Split View", "Side by side", "Slide Over", "Work side by side", "Multitask on iPad")
5. List screenshot frames that show multitasking UI — note which gallery images show Split View dividers, Slide Over panels, or side-by-side app pairs so caption lines match frame order
6. Separate listing from in-app pane strings — listing rewrite does not cover sidebar titles, inspector labels, or split-pane chrome inside the binary
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

FAQ

Does AppLocale implement UISplitViewController, UIScene, or iPad multitasking engineering?

No. AppLocale rewrites App Store Connect metadata — name, subtitle, keywords, description, and screenshot caption lines on your zh-Hans product page. UISplitViewController layout, UIScene multitasking configuration, and Slide Over window management are engineering tasks outside AppLocale scope.

How should zh-Hans listing copy talk about Split View without over-claiming?

Listing copy should describe the multitasking flows your app actually ships — Split View alongside another app, Slide Over companion panel, side-by-side reference workflows — without implying you replace system multitasking, guarantee Split View in every size class, or support Slide Over when your app only runs full-screen. We rewrite from your English source claims; we do not invent multitasking features your binary does not support.

What character limits apply to zh-Hans Split View listing fields?

App name and subtitle are each up to 30 characters on the zh-Hans row. The keyword field allows up to 100 characters. Description and screenshot caption lines have longer limits but should stay concise — especially subtitle and caption lines that must fit on-device mockups showing Split View dividers or Slide Over panels.

How is this different from Stage Manager or Drag and Drop guides?

Split View listing copy covers Work side by side, Split View, Slide Over, and classic iPad multitasking marketing on the product page. Stage Manager covers 台前调度 windowing and resizable app groups. Drag and Drop covers cross-app drag gestures and drop zones. Those surfaces have separate listing guides.

Does localizing my listing change Split View or Slide Over runtime behavior?

No. iPad multitasking at runtime comes from your app binary and system behavior — not App Store Connect listing fields. AppLocale covers product-page marketing copy only.

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, and which frames show Split View, Slide Over, or Side by Side UI. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

Will zh-Hans copy mentioning Split View 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 Split View and Slide Over value in their language — it is not a placement hack.

How much does AppLocale cost?
