Describe the bug, issue or concern

My default system language is in English, and the app seems to use this as the default language.
I would like to switch the app to Dutch, but I can't do it anywhere in the app.

Expected behavior

I should be able to switch the app language

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: Google Pixel 2XL
  • OS: Android 10

Language switching is only supported by:

  • Switching system language (Android and iOS)
  • Setting the app language from Settings > Coronamelder (iOS).

In app language switching is not recommended by Apple and Google. But, we could definitely help users discover that the app is available in other languages, and point them to the correct place select language.

Lot's of apps do in app language switching where one could choose the language in the app settings. I like my phone on English so I am not going to change that. But it is weird for me to use CoronaMelder in English since it is a completely Dutch designed app only to be used in the Netherlands. I understand it will first time start in the same language as the phone, but after that it should be able to change the app into all the languages you support.

Mijn telefoon is een iPhone SE. Mijn telefoon heeft als default taal Engels (vanwege zakelijk gebruik) maar ik zou de app ook graag in het Nederlands gebruiken. De mogelijkheid om binnen de app de taal te wisselen is een nice to have feature.
