Why Greek matters

Greek has its own alphabet and is slightly wider per character than Latin. Greek users expect proper Greek localization for consumer apps — English-only hurts conversion significantly.

Localization tips for Greek

  1. 1 Greek characters are visually wider than Latin — budget 20% more width.
  2. 2 Use Noto Sans Greek or a font with full Greek coverage. Latin-only fonts render broken glyphs.
  3. 3 Modern Greek uses monotonic accents (only the acute accent) — not polytonic (multiple accents). Classical Greek is different.
  4. 4 Greek has formal "Εσείς" and informal "εσύ". Consumer apps default to informal.

Fonts for Greek

Noto Sans Greek, Inter, Roboto.

Most common mistake

Using a Latin-only font and having Greek text render as fallback system font — which varies unpredictably across iOS versions.

Greek localization FAQ

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

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

Does text expansion affect Greek screenshot design?

Greek 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 Greek.

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

If Greek 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.
