What one listing covers
Of the 42 language slots across the 175 storefronts, ru-RU is the fifth 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 6.
The storefronts
| Storefront | Code | Storefront ID |
|---|---|---|
| Armenia | AM | 143524 |
| Azerbaijan | AZ | 143568 |
| Belarus | BY | 143565 |
| Kazakhstan | KZ | 143517 |
| Russia | RU | 143469 |
| Uzbekistan | UZ | 143566 |
Each of these 6 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.
Frequently asked
Which App Store countries use ru-RU as the default language?
6 of the 175 storefronts we measure: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Uzbekistan. Each storefront's code and ID is in the table above; the full list is on App Store storefront country codes.
Does one ru-RU listing cover all 6 storefronts?
Yes — ru-RU is the language search reads by default in each of them, so metadata written once in ru-RU is read in all 6. 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 ru-RU 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.
