Why Catalan matters

Catalan is a distinct language (not a Spanish dialect) and Catalan users appreciate apps that localize specifically for them. iOS has a separate "ca" locale code for it.

  2. 2 Budget 20% more horizontal space.
  3. 3 Informal "tu" is standard in consumer apps.
  4. 4 If you target Spain, adding Catalan alongside Spanish shows respect and increases conversion in Catalonia.

Most common mistake

Treating Catalan as a dialect of Spanish. It's a separate language with its own distinct grammar and vocabulary.

Catalan localization FAQ

What App Store Connect locale code should I use for Catalan?

Use ca when adding Catalan (Català) screenshots in App Store Connect or Google Play Console. Using the wrong code means your localized screenshots never reach Catalan users.

Does text expansion affect Catalan screenshot design?

Catalan runs +20% vs English on average character count. You should design buttons and headlines with explicit overflow headroom — text that fits in English will break in Catalan.

Does Shotlingo automatically localize screenshots to Catalan?

Yes. Shotlingo auto-translates your App Store screenshot text to Catalan (Català) with AI that respects text expansion, and platform-appropriate fonts. Export the localized bundle ready for App Store Connect locale ca.

Do I have to translate my App Store screenshots to Catalan?

If Catalan is a major market for your app, yes. Unlocalized screenshots significantly reduce conversion — users scroll past copy they cannot read. Even partial localization (headlines only) typically beats English-only.
