German abbreviations non-conformant to DIN 5008 in FAQ #1689

Closed MikeMcC399 closed 2 years ago

Where to find the issue

https://www.coronawarn.app/de/faq/

Describe the issue

Some new entries into the German FAQ on https://www.coronawarn.app/de/faq/ do not conform to DIN 5008

German abbreviations should be written with a space, which should be a non-breaking space to ensure they are not broken across lines.

For example:

Reference DIN 5008

Abkürzungen (Abschnitt 4.5)

In Abkürzungen aus mehreren Buchstaben, die jeweils einen Punkt haben und für ein Wort stehen, ist zwischen den abgekürzten Wörtern jeweils ein Leerzeichen zu setzen: a. a. O., d. h., v. l. n. r., z. B. usw. Um einen unerwünschten Zeilenumbruch innerhalb der Abkürzung zu vermeiden, sollte ein Geschütztes Leerzeichen verwendet werden.

Abkürzungen, die wie selbstständige Wörter oder buchstäblich gesprochen werden, sind ohne Punkt und in sich ohne Leerzeichen zu schreiben. Beispiele: UNICEF, Kfz

(Note that this rule does not apply to English language abbreviations.)

Suggested change

The issue was cleaned up last through PR https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-website/pull/1435.

The exercise needs to be repeated for additional new text which did not pay regard to the DIN norm.

1690 is merged so now closing.

This issue has reappeared due to the new FAQ https://www.coronawarn.app/de/faq/results/#mask_rules not paying attention to DIN rules for writing German abbreviations.
