What's New Auto-Translate

Translate your release notes and fill the What's New field for every language your app version already has, in one click.

Shipping an app update means writing your release notes once, then translating them and pasting them into every single language your app supports. Thirty languages means thirty copy-pastes. This extension turns that into one click. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open your app's version page on App Store Connect 2. Click the extension button 3. Click "Detect app & languages" — it reads the languages that version actually has 4. Paste your release notes in your own language 5. Click "Translate & fill" Every language on the version is translated and saved. Refresh the page and they're all there. WHAT IT DOES - Auto-detects the languages already on your app version — 5 or 35, whatever you have set up. It never adds languages you didn't already configure. - Automatically selects the editable version, and warns you if none is editable. - Preserves your formatting. Bullet markers (•, -, *, 1.), blank lines and emoji are lifted out before translating and put back afterwards, so the layout you typed is the layout that reaches Apple. - Skips pointless round-trips. If a locale matches your source language — en-GB or en-AU when you wrote in English — your original text is used verbatim. - Warns you before a translation exceeds Apple's 4,000 character limit, instead of failing at save time. - Dry run mode: preview every translation without writing a single character. - Per-language log, so if one save fails you know exactly which and why. - "Copy all as text" exports every translation with its locale header, as a manual fallback. - Light and dark mode. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO - It never touches your description, keywords, screenshots, pricing, or anything else. Only the What's New field, only on the version you pick. - It never adds new languages to your app. - It doesn't ask for an API key, a .p8 file, or your password. It works through the App Store Connect session you're already signed into. - No account, no server, no analytics, no tracking. Your text goes to Google Translate to be translated and to App Store Connect to be saved — nowhere else. GOOD PRACTICE Run it once with "Dry run" ticked before an important release, so you can read the translations before anything is written. Machine translation is a starting point, not a substitute for a native speaker on your key markets. For most release notes — "fixed a crash, sync is faster" — it's more than good enough, and it's a great deal better than shipping English to every locale because translating them by hand was too tedious. --- Not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by Apple Inc. or Google LLC.
