Language not available on iTunes Connect

Question

I've successfully translated my App to Spanish and Catalan. Both versions (in addition to the english one) work very ok. I'm preparing the submission and, when I'm to add the new Catalan version, to my surprise I cannot choose this language from the scroll down menu, although I was able to select it on Xcode when working on the translation.

So, how am I supposed to release the catalan version?. I know I could select spanish and fill the field with the catalan version, but then I cannot fill in the spanish one.

Anyone here with experience on the matter?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

By "versions" here, I assume you're just talking about localizations within one single application.

If so, the user would simply need to purchase your application from the App Store, run it on their device, and if they have Catalan as a primary language, your Catalan localization would be used.

iTunes Connect does not support Catalan as a store language yet, which is why you can't post a Catalan translation of the store listing, but it still should display in the proper language on the user's device. According to the iTunes Connect Developer Guide, the following languages are currently supported for localization of the application description:

• English
• Spanish
• German
• UK English
• Canadian English
• French Canadian
• Brazilian Portuguese
• Australian English
• French
• Mexican Spanish
• Portuguese
• Dutch
• Italian
• Japanese
• Simplified Chinese
• Russian
• Swedish
• Korean

If you wish for Catalan to be added as an additional language option in the App Store, please file an enhancement request at http://bugreport.apple.com .

Answer 2

The only way you can localize your app in a language that is not available in iTunes, is to create a separate app just for this country and enter the info in the language. Not ideal, because now you have 2 apps to take care of: one for all available language and one just for this language.
