Play Store Supported Languages

Google Play accepts localized listing metadata in a much larger language set than the App Store. Every language in Apptonomy’s locale table maps to a Google Play locale — 87 in total. This table lists each one with its Apptonomy platform ID and the Google Play locale code Apptonomy publishes to. For the unified three-way mapping (platform ID ↔ App Store ↔ Google Play), see Locale IDs.

Google Play uses the three-letter code fil for Filipino and the UN M.49 region code es-419 for Latin American Spanish. Some languages appear as multiple regional variants (Persian, Malay, several English and Spanish regions) — each is published independently.

This table is generated from Apptonomy’s master locale table (A7Y_LANG), which drives the Google Play language picker in the app. Google can add languages over time; when it does, the master table is updated and this list changes with it. Codes are the values Apptonomy sends to Google Play. For the reasoning behind Apptonomy’s platform IDs and the full App Store / Google Play mapping, see Locale IDs.
