Localize App Store Screenshots to Italian
Italiano
Italy = ~60M people, high smartphone penetration, European top-5 app market.
Why Italian matters
Italian is melodic and slightly longer than English but predictable. The main trap is tone — Italian marketing copy is more formal than English equivalent. "Hey there!" does not translate to "Ciao!" in an app store listing.

Any Latin font with Italian diacritics.
Most common mistake
