The App Store shows a Spanish (Spain) page only in Spain, and there it also reads Catalan and English (U.K.) (Apple help, Oct 16, 2026). There are no games in Spain's top ten by revenue, and 32 of the top 100 are games (Top Grossing, Oct 16, 2026). A $4.99 purchase costs €5.99, and an app in the Apple Small Business Program receives €4.20 from it.
Where a Spanish (Spain) page shows
According to Apple's App Store localizations page (Oct 16, 2026), Spanish (Spain) is the default language of one App Store storefront out of 175, Spain, and it is not an additional language anywhere else.
Besides Catalan, Apple lists English (U.K.) in Spain. AppTweak and Phiture checked with made-up words that a country's search sees words from all its localizations but does not merge them into one phrase (AppTweak, Nov 21, 2025).
Catalan in Spain is more than a formality. App Store suggestions for Spanish words include Catalan names, such as “lockd: sons per dormir” and “conspect: de vídeo a text” (App Store suggestions, Oct 16, 2026). If your audience is in Catalonia, a Catalan localization counts in the same search.
Latin America uses a different Spanish, Spanish (Mexico), and by Apple's table the page for Spain is not read there.

How to write the page in Spanish (Spain)
- Name up to 30 characters, subtitle the same (App Store Connect Help). 27 of the 100 leaders in Spain use 28 to 30 characters.
- Keywords, per Apple's help, up to 100 bytes, no names of other apps (Apple). No space is needed after a comma. AppTweak advises separating keywords with commas (AppTweak).
- Keep “gratis” out of the name and subtitle, since guideline 2.3.7 of the App Review Guidelines rules out pricing information in metadata.
- Write Spanish for Spain specifically. The leaders write “vídeo” with an accent, while the same apps in Mexico write “video”.
Where to start with a page for Spain
- Make Spanish (Spain) separately from Spanish (Mexico). They are two different languages in App Store Connect.

- Work out your proceeds in euros. €5.99 brings you €4.20.
In Appto's language plan, Spanish for Spain and Spanish for Mexico are separate, and Appto writes both pages against Apple's limits. Appto asks for your yes before writing to App Store Connect.
