For spreading Apple products support, Apple has been launched the Technical Support Forum for Chinese consumers, the iPhone maker updated its online support forums to handle the native language.

Members of the service were told they could begin localizing their apps for Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, along with several other languages.

Both the App Store and the Mac App Store are in 155 countries with 40 languages. However, some developers we talked to expressed concern over Apple’s push for software localization, mostly citing cost concerns.

Just before the call for app localization, Apple unveiled a version of the Chinese Support Communities forum, an effort to permit local users to submit questions and provide answers written in their local language.
