Checklist:

Setup

The config.json for running the Portuguese version is as follows:

{
  "BASE_URL": "coronastatus.pt",
  "LANGUAGE": "pt-PT",
  "COUNTRY": "Portugal",
  "MAP_CENTER": "-27.8092509,36.8819358",
  "MAP_ZOOM": 4,
  "TWITTER": "coronastatusPT",
  "ZIP_LENGTH": 8,
  "ZIP_PLACEHOLDER": "0000-000",
  "REDIRECT_TO_GOVERNMENT": false,
  "PASSCODE_LENGTH": 3,
  "DB_PATH": "./covid_db"
}

Notes:

Would love if any Portuguese people would consider reviewing the translations 🙏 I'll gladly ammend the commit to feature these people in the Co-authored-by, meaning you'd appear in the contributors list.

I have a concern regarding how specific the markers in the map are. In practice you can track potentially sick people to the very village or zone where they live and I'm afraid of the level of fear, discrimination or other negative feeling or action that might come out of it. I believe showing statistics by city or county would suffice. What I'm thinking of doing for Portugal is to change the coordinates of all postal code under a city or county to the coordinates of that city or county. Feedback is very welcome on this take 🙏

Let me know what the text needs to be for this image @andrezzoid:

Also tell me what words need to be yellow so I can create the image for you.

OK, so I suggest we merge this, and then @andrezzoid or @Painatalman can fix typos or minor translations in a new PR. It is not necessary to translate all the country names, we only use the country name you define in config.json at this time.

We share your concern, but after discussing it we found out that since we don't share any personal data it is ok for Norway. But the area a postal code spans varies from country to country, and I understand that this could be a greater concern for other countries. There are two ways you could cope with this: 1) As you suggest, map all postal codes to to coordinates of larger cities. 2) Change the max zoom level of the map (specified in config.json), so that it is not possible to zoom in on small villages. The numbers will be merged when zooming out.
