Any Chinese and/or Indian users here?
Hey guys, I want to offer my upcoming app in your countries and I want to properly support the users there so I wouldn't just translate the apps but also give support.
So I got a few questions about it
*Is there a unified app store for android devices in China? or there's one for each brand of phone? (eg: Xiaomi, Lenovo, Oppo, etc)
*Follow up: does everybody uses google's play story in India? or there are other app stores there?
*How many languages should I support in India? is English and Hindi enough?
*Should I have to rename the app for those markets? because I seen some companies doing it but I fear it might dilute the brand (specially any traction I would get from western blogs being reblogged over there)
*What advice do you have on hiring freelancers for localization, support and CM work? I'm on a budget.
That's all, thanks.
For India, English is a good starting language though you will connect a few extra users with Hindi, Tamil, Kanand etc.
Apart from google's play store, Apple store is very popular in India.
For India, English would be enough and for gaining traction changing name would not be necessary. For added benefit, you can add support for hindi language but it would be like additional feature so not needed.
