es-MX on the App Store: the 17 storefronts that read it

Short answer

es-MX is the default search language in 17 of the 175 App Store storefronts we measure — 10% of them. Metadata written once in es-MX is what search reads in every one of them, so the cost of that text is amortised across 17 markets rather than one.

What one listing covers

Of the 42 language slots across the 175 storefronts, es-MX is the second widest. The widest is en-GB at 85 storefronts; 29 slots reach exactly one storefront each, where the same translation work buys a single market instead of 17.

Each of these 17 rows passed three checks: search returns that country's own results, the country code is accepted, and Apple accepts the language code. Two storefronts that failed were dropped rather than listed.

Default is not the only language. Apple can index more than one language in a storefront; this list is the language each storefront's search reads by default. It answers “where does this text land”, not “which languages are indexed here”.

Frequently asked

Which App Store countries use es-MX as the default language?

17 of the 175 storefronts we measure: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Rep., Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela. Each storefront's code and ID is in the table above; the full list is on App Store storefront country codes.

Does one es-MX listing cover all 17 storefronts?

Yes — es-MX is the language search reads by default in each of them, so metadata written once in es-MX is read in all 17. Being read is not the same as ranking: rank depends on each storefront's own competition and on whether your words are what people there actually search. See ASO localization.

Is es-MX the only language indexed in these storefronts?

No. Apple can index more than one language in a storefront; this list only shows the language each storefront's search reads by default. It answers "where does this text land", not "which languages are indexed here". For the term itself, see storefront.
