# fr-FR on the App Store: the 7 storefronts that read it

fr-FR is the default search language in 7 of the 128 App Store storefronts we measure — 5% of them. Metadata written once in fr-FR is what search reads in every one of them, so the cost of that text is amortised across 7 markets rather than one.

## What one listing covers

Of the 42 language slots across the 128 storefronts, fr-FR is the fourth widest. The widest is en-GB at 40 storefronts; 29 slots reach exactly one storefront each, where the same translation work buys a single market instead of 7.

## The storefronts

| Storefront | Code | Storefront ID |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Côte d’Ivoire | CI | 143527 |
| France | FR | 143442 |
| Luxembourg | LU | 143451 |
| Madagascar | MG | 143531 |
| Mali | ML | 143532 |
| Niger | NE | 143534 |
| Senegal | SN | 143535 |

Each of these 7 rows was verified against three Apple endpoints: the storefront ID returns suggestions, search returns results in that country, and Apple accepts the language code. Two storefronts that failed were dropped rather than listed.

NOTE: 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”.
