Localize App Store Screenshots to Spanish
Español
Spain + Latin America = ~500M Spanish speakers. Highest growth App Store region in the world.
Why Spanish matters
Spanish has two massively important variants: Spain (es-ES) and Latin America (es-MX / es-419). They are different enough that a single "Spanish" listing alienates half your audience. If you are serious about Spanish-speaking markets, localize both.

Localization tips for Spanish
- 1 Inverted punctuation (¿ ¡) is non-negotiable in Spanish. Missing it screams "machine translation".
- 2 Always localize both Spain and Latin America if the market matters to you — they use different vocabulary ("coche" vs "carro", "móvil" vs "celular").
- 3 Budget 25% more horizontal space than English.
- 4 Avoid "usted" in marketing copy unless your app is explicitly formal. Modern apps use "tú".
Fonts for Spanish
Any Latin font works. Make sure your font has ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú, and inverted ¿¡.
Most common mistake
Shipping a single "Spanish" listing translated for Spain and hoping Latin American users will accept it. They won't — they'll feel it is not made for them.
Spanish localization FAQ
What App Store Connect locale code should I use for Spanish?
Use es-ES / es-MX when adding Spanish (Español) screenshots in App Store Connect or Google Play Console. Using the wrong code means your localized screenshots never reach Spanish users.
Does text expansion affect Spanish screenshot design?
Spanish 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 Spanish.

If Spanish 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.
