Hebrew App Store Screenshots (עברית)

Hebrew App Store screenshots go in the Hebrew localization (he); on Google Play the code is iw-IL. Hebrew is written in Hebrew script, right to left, so text runs right to left and lines break between words.

Hebrew script rules

Text runs right to left and lines break between words.

  • Right-align headlines and mirror the screenshot order if your app UI is mirrored.
  • Latin brand names stay left-to-right inside Hebrew lines.

Fonts: Noto Sans Hebrew, Rubik or Heebo cover Hebrew; check vowel marks (niqqud) if you use them.

Hebrew-specific notes

  • Plural imperative (“ראו”, “תכננו”) avoids choosing a gender.
  • Google Play uses the legacy code “iw-IL” for Hebrew.

How to make the Hebrew set in AppShotEditor

  1. Finish your source-language set first.
  2. Duplicate the project and name it with the locale code (he). AppShotEditor has no built-in translation, so paste in translated headlines yourself.
  3. Replace the screenshots with ones captured in Hebrew (on iOS: Simulator → Settings → Language).
  4. Right-align the headlines and check the order of mixed numbers and Latin words.
  5. Export at the same sizes and upload them in the Hebrew localization.
