German App Store Screenshots (Deutsch)
German App Store screenshots go in the German localization (de-DE); on Google Play the code is de-DE. German 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.
German-specific notes
- Decide between “du” and “Sie” and use it everywhere: app, screenshots and description. Consumer apps increasingly use “du”.
- Compound nouns get long; allow a second headline line or pick shorter synonyms.
How to make the German set in AppShotEditor
- Finish your source-language set first.
- Duplicate the project and name it with the locale code (de-DE). AppShotEditor has no built-in translation, so paste in translated headlines yourself.
- Replace the screenshots with ones captured in German (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 German localization.
