Only half related to Op’s question but I’m thinking a lot about this right now as i just translated my iPhone app to 11 languages and released the update a week ago. I see NO additional downloads and I’m really curious to why. If anyone here has some experience or insight I’d really love to hear about it.

What marketing have you done for this effort? Why would people who speak those languages be aware of your app?

My readlist in French is https://www.journalduhacker.net/ , as suggested in another comment, and https://linuxfr.org/ , covering open source, if it applies to your product. Then Hackernews, but you are already here. Appart from that, it depends on your product. You will need to communicate through the niche channels your SaaS is adressing (aka woodworking channels for a woodworking Saas, etc ...)

I think about some lists like this https://www.submitjuice.com/directories but not only for English-speaking audience.

May be some UGC-based websites like vc.ru for Russian-speaking.

Biggest IT news site in Germany is heise.de, they also have a catalogue with software and service providers - you can contact their team at software@heise.de (if it's a commercial proposal with subject: "Kommerzielle Listung bei heise Download" according to their FAQ at https://www.heise.de/download/page/Haeufig-gestellte-Fragen-... )

Thanks for your advice!

May be there're some listings like this https://www.submitjuice.com/directories but for German-speaking? Or UGC-based websites about startups?

French: https://www.journalduhacker.net/

When it comes to startup, welcome to the jungle is probably the reference: https://www.welcometothejungle.com/fr/media Although it is a professional outlet, so it's not like you can expect to just publish there for free.

Yeah, thanks

Sorry that my comment provides little to no value to the original question: being a native Spanish speaker from Latin America, in my 10 years in IT, I have been so far unable to find a site that comes close to any tech forum or something like Hacker News. I agree with franciscop that there should be a Spanish Hacker News. The problem is: what content would it be fed with, as quality content is scarce.

I think about not only HN but just about lists like this https://www.submitjuice.com/directories for not only English-speaking.

For Portugal you might contact https://startupportugal.com/ This one is an official website for a government program, but I think it's for Portuguese companies https://portugaldigital.gov.pt/acelerar-a-transicao-digital-...

Thanks
