I would appreciate if the jolla store could have some rules.

Personally, I would prefer naming, description, comments in english language using latin letters. Please don't take it as chauvinism. English in latin letters is "the world language", most users can read and write it all over the world. For example, allthough most people in the world may live in china, I bet even more people in the world are able to read english. On the other hand, chinese naming, description etc. will lock out non-chinese-users.

I would like to search for apps by name and / or description. As native apps are sometimes unofficial solutions for something like Flickr, Facebook, WhatsApp etc. where you are not allowed to call them Flickr, Fecebook, WhatsApp, users may have only little ideas about what their real name could be. Therefore, any descripton should mention what the app really is about. Additionally, a very small first-steps / howto would be appreciated.

There was an idea to implement tags to the store apps and I think there should be some general rules for apps in the Store (I don't know what rules Harbour has when submitting apps). But please go vote also on the tag (you're it!) issue here: add-tagskeywords-to-store.

When I made in app e.g. in "Plattdeutsch", then the app and their description is only for Plattdeutsch speakers. You will waste time with reading about this app without understanding Plattdeutsch?

1+ for raketti and tags.

I agree with @utkiek here.

No reason to force-feed english if the applicetion is for example only usable to people in certain region. More so when majority of the people on that region do not understand a word of english....

Agree with @utkiek

Also, I prefer my english to be written in the shavian alphabet.

There's a point, no reason for all apps to have English description if it isn't used in an area where people doesn't speak/understand English. Local apps can very well have all the details in it's local language.
