### Locales We've introduced system that lets you translate AppName or description in store via locales - depends what language user selects, description and name can be different. In order to do this, you need to specify new locales in locale:
* `Appname:Title` - For changing titles. Please be aware that AppName needs to be capitalized - that means only first letter can be uppercase * `Store:Appname:Description` - For changing description. Please be aware that AppName needs to be capitalized - that means only first letter can be uppercase
