AppStore appearance localised with global App name - How?

We are about to launch our app in multiple markets around the world, and would prefer to give all markets localised app descriptions, screenshots and such - but our app brand name is global, and we are not allowed to have the same name in each localisation - how do we fix that? We would prefer not to have an app named "BrandName US", "BrandName IT" etc..

The error we are seeing is:

"Some of your changes have been saved. You have one or more errors on this page.

English (U.S.) Name did not save because the app name you entered is already being used for another app in your account. If you would like to use the name for this app you will need to submit an update to your other app to change the name, or remove it from App Store Connect."

Which would make sense if we had a different app with the same name, but it is the same app, just in a different localisation.

Have anybody else experienced this with App Store Connect?

You can use the same app name in all localisations when that app name is still available in that localisation.

The error you see means the name you want in that particular localisation is already taken. In this case by an app on your account.

Are you creating multiple apps in App Store Connect, one for each localisation? Because you can add multiple localisations to one app in ASC. Just checking..
