A missing language slot is a coverage gap, but the next language to work on should follow a product and market decision. Combine existing audience evidence, supported product languages and local search research before ordering the localization backlog.

## Investigation steps

1. Inventory the listing languages already present and the storefronts they serve. Keep listing language, user country and the app's interface language as separate fields.
2. Check whether the product, onboarding and support can serve the intended audience. A translated listing that promises an experience the app cannot deliver creates a mismatch.
3. Compare country-level acquisition evidence and locally relevant searches. Record missing evidence and the work required for text, screenshots and product support.

## Worked interpretation

Illustrative case: one market already has engaged users and supported in-app language, while another has only a large population estimate. The first has more direct evidence for a listing project; population alone does not establish likely installs.

## Decision and next check

Prioritize a complete, reviewable locale release rather than a translated title in isolation. Keep the source text, local terminology review and publication status together. Measure later results against the country's own baseline and document any simultaneous campaign changes.
