Summary
Based on user feedback from doctor in Belgium
Problem: “Which url brings me to the version where Dutch is integrated (as I use the beta link from the website I still do not see Dutch as a language).”
Action: Create React Router path (and if necessary backend endpoint to the translated version of site) in the user's native language. That way the user doesn't have to know English to navigate to the choose a language section.
For example:
Dutch:
coronatrackerbeta.com/nederlands
Spanish:
coronatrackerbeta.com/español and coronatrackerbeta.com/espanol (in case they can't get ñ)
Corner case to consider:
For non-Latin languages like Chinese or Arabic, should we have the endpoint in their native language and English version? How do speakers access English sites in their own languages? @AdhamAH@salvolpe@njordhov
How does Facebook or large multilingual site do this?
Motivation
Why are we doing this?
We want non-English speakers to be able to use our application easier, by letting them visit the app in their native language directly from the URL
**What use cases does it support? **
Easier user onboarding at the beginning of the app
What is the expected outcome?
users can access our site without having the possible roadblock of not knowing English.
Possible Alternatives
Assume that most speakers with a cellphone know enough basic English to click on the button to choose their language. Or they will experiment and click on the button and see their language.
Additional Context
DocMusher is a doctor in Belgium who fits one of the user cohorts that we want to interview and gain good insights from. As an external set of eyes with domain experience dealing with COVID-19 patients, we are able to learn what is useful on the field.

@tesla809 In order to get access to the user native language version of the app user still have to type url with latin characters.
I thinking we can declare routs for each language and if user hit the rout we can trigger the same logic as if user click on the select language button.
I agree with @pavel-ilin - I'd say we should update this issue accordingly, where if the user hits a certain route this calls the language selector and then opens the app
That way, they can be directed directly to a page in their preferred language, instead of explicitly selecting it. Although its still a good idea to provide a way for the user to override the default language and choose another.
