Malay-specific notes

  • “Anda” is the neutral polite “you”.
  • Google Play offers both “ms-MY” and “ms”.

How to make the Malay set in AppShotEditor

  1. Finish your source-language set first.
  2. Duplicate the project and name it with the locale code (ms). AppShotEditor has no built-in translation, so paste in translated headlines yourself.
  3. Replace the screenshots with ones captured in Malay (on iOS: Simulator → Settings → Language).
  4. Check line breaks on every screen; adjust where a word splits badly.
  5. Export at the same sizes and upload them in the Malay localization.
