Make description of defibrillator location language-specific #5710

Closed daPhipz closed 4 months ago

daPhipz commented 4 months ago

Use case

When asked where a defibrillator is located, there is no indication in which language the text should be written. Should it be the user's mother tongue, the local language, or English?

Proposed Solution

Either (my preferred scenario) ask the user to provide the description in English and/or their mother tongue (I don't know if defibrillator:location:de= is possible). Alternatively, specify in what language the description should be in.

Also, maybe add a check quest if the location is still valid, it may have changed after some time or the original description might be of poor quality if it didn't come from a native speaker.

westnordost commented 4 months ago

defibrillator:location:de is certainly possible to tag, the issue is that the app does not know in which language the user will write. So, better add a hint that one should use the local language or otherwise English.

The existence of defibrillators are already checked again regularly.
