supported languages

We accept apps in French and Dutch for the Orange Belgium app catalogue.


If suitable, why not consider other country markets for your application?

If you’d like to take advantage of these additional markets for your French or Dutch apps, then all you need to do is translate the description (into English and Spanish), and re-submit it to us.


If your application is not text-light, then you may want to consider translating all text (any instructions, icons, help files etc) – you’ll then be able to submit us this version for sale in the catalogue in other appropriate countries.

Of course, if you already have multilingual versions of your application, then please submit them to us!

coverage requirements for devices, platforms & OSs

 

To keep things really clear, we’ve put together some guidelines relating to device, platform and OS coverage required for your apps:

if it’s a Java app, it should cover 80% of the relevant country’s ‘Top 50 Devices’ list.
if your Java app uses specialised features of a device, it should cover as many
   appropriate devices as possible.
if your app is for Android / RIM BlackBerry / Symbian / Windows Mobile, then it should cover the
   appropriate complete device range.
you will need to provide new versions of your app as appropriate on an ongoing basis to cover
   new devices, or changes in the Top 50.


Ideally, all apps submitted should meet the appropriate coverage requirements.
