Latvian localization FAQ
What App Store Connect locale code should I use for Latvian?
Use lv when adding Latvian (Latviešu) screenshots in App Store Connect or Google Play Console. Using the wrong code means your localized screenshots never reach Latvian users.

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