# zh-HK on the App Store: the 2 storefronts that read it

zh-HK is the default search language in 2 of the 128 App Store storefronts we measure — 2% of them. Metadata written once in zh-HK is what search reads in every one of them, so the cost of that text is amortised across 2 markets rather than one.

## What one listing covers

Of the 42 language slots across the 128 storefronts, zh-HK is the 13th 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 2.

## The storefronts

| Storefront | Code | Storefront ID |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Hong Kong | HK | 143463 |
| Macao | MO | 143515 |

Each of these 2 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”.
