Why Croatian matters

Croatian uses Latin script with unique diacritics (č, ć, đ, š, ž). It is distinct from Serbian (which uses Cyrillic + Latin). Croatia is a smaller but premium app market.

Localization tips for Croatian

  1. 1 Use Croatian diacritics: č, ć, đ, š, ž. Don't substitute with plain c, d, s, z.
  2. 2 Budget 25% more horizontal space.
  3. 3 Formal "Vi" for business, informal "ti" for consumer.
  4. 4 Do NOT use Serbian translations for Croatian. They are different languages with different orthography.

Fonts for Croatian

Any Latin font with full Croatian diacritics.

Most common mistake

Missing đ (d with stroke). It is a unique letter, not a substitute for dj.

Croatian localization FAQ

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

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

Does text expansion affect Croatian screenshot design?

Croatian runs +25% vs English on average character count. You should design buttons and headlines with explicit overflow headroom — text that fits in English will break in Croatian.

Does Shotlingo automatically localize screenshots to Croatian?

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

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

If Croatian 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.
