Using the codes
- fastlane deliver reads one folder per locale under screenshots/, named with the code, such as screenshots/de-DE.
- A locale has to exist on your app in App Store Connect before you can upload to it. deliver will not create one.
- Regional variants are separate locales: English (US) and English (UK), Spanish and Spanish (Mexico), Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional).
- Both stores publish their own locale lists. Check the code your listing shows before you upload a language you added by hand.
Right-to-left locales
Arabic (ar-SA) and Hebrew (he) are the two right-to-left locales. Text in them runs right to left in the editor and in the export.
