Typo in QR scan error message (EN)

See original GitHub issue

Avoid duplicates

Technical details

  • Device name: Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) SM-A520F
  • Android version: 8.0.0
  • First reported on App version: 2.11.0-RC3 (pre-release)
  • Confirmed still present in App version: 2.11.2

Describe the bug

There is a typo in the string qr_code_no_suitable_qr_code_body

“The QR code cannot be canned by the Corona-Warn-App. Please select a file with a suitable QR code.”

“canned” should be “scanned”

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Set locale to English (United States)
  2. Tap “Certificates” tab (tap “CONTINUE” if necessary)
  3. Tap “+ CERTIFICATE” and scan any non-CWA code such as

    QR Code DE12345678
  4. Note the pop-up message with typo “canned”

No_suitable_QR_code_EN_typo

Expected behavior

The word “canned” should be spelled as “scanned.”

Possible Fix

Correct the string qr_code_no_suitable_qr_code_body in https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android/blob/release/2.11.x/Corona-Warn-App/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android/blob/2099ae694c13e65103c720d83f2b9e01f6c30aa9/Corona-Warn-App/src/main/res/values/strings.xml#L971-L972

so that “canned” reads “scanned.”

The typo in string qr_code_no_suitable_qr_code_body has been corrected in release/2.12.x to read “The QR code cannot be scanned by the Corona-Warn-App. Please select a file with a suitable QR code.”

This text is however likely to be replaced through issue https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android/issues/4156 “Reference to file in QR scan from camera error message”.
