Germany is the largest European App Store market, and German-speaking users are notably less willing to work through an English listing than Dutch or Scandinavian users are. One de-DE localization covers Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

What breaks in German
German is the language that breaks screenshot layouts most reliably. Compound nouns are written as one unbroken word, so a caption does not just get longer, it gets a single token too wide to wrap. This is the classic case where an English design that fit perfectly overflows without warning.
Compound nouns form single unbreakable tokens that can be wider than the caption slot itself
Up to 35% more characters than the English source for the same meaning
Umlauts add ascender height, which can collide with a tight line above
Capitalized nouns throughout make all-caps headline treatments read as shouting
You type. The canvas builds.
Describe your app, see your first set, then ask for German. The layout survives the language change because you are editing the same set, not starting a new one.

Questions & Answers
Why does German break screenshot layouts so often?
Two reasons compound. German runs 10 to 35% longer than English for the same sentence, and it forms compound nouns as single unbroken words. A long compound cannot be wrapped mid-token by a normal line breaker, so instead of flowing to a second line it simply runs past the edge of the card.
Does one German localization cover Austria and Switzerland?
Yes. App Store Connect has a single German localization, and it serves users whose device language is German in every storefront, including Austria and Switzerland.
Can I keep my English screenshots for Germany?
You can, and nothing breaks: users with German devices simply see your primary-language listing. Germany is the largest European storefront though, and it is one of the markets where an English listing costs the most in conversion relative to how cheap the translation is.
How do I check the German text actually fits?
Translate the set and look at the rendered frames, not the character count. Expansion averages hide the specific caption that broke, and a compound noun overflow is obvious in the pixels and invisible in a spreadsheet.
