French App Store Screenshots (Français)
French App Store screenshots go in the French and French (Canada) localization (fr-FR / fr-CA); on Google Play the code is fr-FR / fr-CA. French is written in Latin script, left to right, so words are separated by spaces and lines break between words.

Latin script rules
Words are separated by spaces and lines break between words.
- Check that accented capitals (É, Ä, Č) are not clipped at the top of a tight line height.
Fonts: Most interface fonts (Inter, SF Pro, Roboto) cover Latin with its accents.
French-specific notes
- French typography puts a thin space before “:”, “;”, “!” and “?”.
- Canadian French has its own vocabulary in places; App Store Connect and Play both let you localize fr-CA separately.
How to make the French set in AppShotEditor
- Finish your source-language set first.
- Duplicate the project and name it with the locale code (fr-FR). AppShotEditor has no built-in translation, so paste in translated headlines yourself.
- Replace the screenshots with ones captured in French (on iOS: Simulator → Settings → Language).
- Check line breaks on every screen; adjust where a word splits badly.
- Export at the same sizes and upload them in the French localization.
