Why Romanian matters

Romanian uses ș and ț (s and t with comma below), which are different from the Turkish ş and ţ (with cedilla). Wrong diacritics are the #1 sign of a careless Romanian localization.

Localization tips for Romanian

  1. 1 Use the comma-below variants (ș, ț), not cedilla (ş, ţ). This is a strict correctness rule.
  2. 2 Budget 20% more horizontal space.
  3. 3 Romanian is a Romance language — vocabulary is closer to Italian than Slavic neighbors.
  4. 4 Use Noto Sans or Inter which have the correct comma-below variants.

Fonts for Romanian

Noto Sans (comma-below correct), Inter, Roboto.

Most common mistake

Using cedilla (ş/ţ) instead of comma-below (ș/ț) — it renders but is technically incorrect Romanian typography.

Romanian localization FAQ

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

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

Does text expansion affect Romanian screenshot design?

Romanian 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 Romanian.

Does Shotlingo automatically localize screenshots to Romanian?

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

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

If Romanian 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.
