Make CWA more international... #742

Open Jo-Achim opened 2 years ago

Jo-Achim commented 2 years ago

According to In which international app stores is the app available? the CWA is currently available in 30 countries internationally and according to In which countries can the Corona-Warn-App be used? usable in 20 countries.

Current Implementation

No nationality designations are currently used for addresses.

Suggested Enhancement

Therefore, and not only for people who work 'cross-border', it would be helpful to add a country code at some points in the CWA / event registration / and more.

In contrast to the definitions in the ISO 3166 coding list - the use of the 'vehicle nationality symbols' would be more common and sensible ("Liste der aktuellen Kennzeichen", column "Kennzeichen"); e.g. D, A, CH, E, F, NL, SLO etc.

This addition of the nationality code in the address fields would be useful, for example, in:

Example for event registration: Screenshot_20220102-125052_Corona-Warn_3 (The default text in "Ort" could then be: "e.g.: D - 12345 Musterstadt, Musterstr. 12") The font size should be reduced here in order to generally display longer addresses in full!!

Example for CWA quick test profile form (source: v2.15.1): Screenshot_20220102-125052_Corona-Warn_2 (The "PLZ"-field can be splitted into "L" and "PLZ".)

PS: In principle, a country code selection box could also be implemented, which only contains the 'valid' countries - but this is certainly not absolutely necessary and is more inflexible.

Expected Benefits

More international design, better address / country assignments - also for cross-border data exchange -, ...
