There are times when you find yourself removing apps from the app store for whatever reason. iTunes Connect allows you to select and deselect certain stores, removing your app from sale.

How many keywords can I use ?
Keywords form part of the indexable metadata on both the App Store and Android Play Store. Here are the rules.
Formal or Informal Voice
When deciding to localize your app, you need to be clear to the translator or localization agency who your target audience is. Is your app a game or social networking chat app? Or is it a financial stocks and shares tracker?

This means on some occasions your app may be localized but the App Store Description and Keywords will still be in the master language, which is usually English. The good news is that the list of languages supported by iTunes connect is growing, so unsupported languages might not always stay that way.

Supported iOS Languages

English (U.S.), English (UK), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

Managing Localizations in iTunes Connect

Which Dialect Should I Choose?
There are several languages which have certain differences depending on where they are spoken. The classic example would be Spanish.
Spanish is spoken in 20 different countries worldwide, each with their own regional twist on the language. Sometimes dialects are as simple to compare as British English is to American English, but other times the two dialects differ so greatly that one would not be so easily understood by the other.
