Language switch #17

Open dbweb-ch opened 3 years ago

dbweb-ch commented 3 years ago

Please add language switch support. I am in denmark currently and they would accept it if you show the certificate on you phone, but they don't speak german an there is no option to switch the language. So I still need printed english version.

@dbweb-ch: Were do you expect the language switch support? They should (soon) be able to validate the QR code with their own validation app.

For example the restaurant I am currently sitting, they were not able to validate because it is in german. Yes, as soon as they can validate it with an app, it will be fine, but this can take some time until every country has it. So the texts should also be avalable in english (for example: Impfung, Impfdatum, Impfstoff)

The apps are also available in English. On iOS you can change the language of an app in the settings for that app. For Android you might have to switch completely to English. Additionally, the PDF / printed certificate has all texts in English.

Nevertheless, I will forward the language switch as feature request to the app dev team.

Just looked it up, it is possible on android to switch a single app, but you need to root the phone and install "exposed" app, nothing for the normal user. Yes, printed it is in english, thats what I have with me currently.
