[BUG] Wrong title "Front of identity card"

[googol7]

Summary

We only accept driving licences but in the interface users get confused because the headers are "Front of identity card" and "Back of identity card".

In German this translates to "Vorderseite des Personalausweises" which is not a driving license.

• [BUG] Wrong title "Front of identity card" stripe-ios#3597

Version

The problem occurs with stripe-android v20.44.0

Details

We currently only accept driver's licences by defining options.document.allowed_types = ["driving_license"] when using the API

Available options are:

• driving_license ... Drivers license document type.
• id_card ... ID card document type.
• passport ... Passport document type.

The optimal solution would be that the title corresponds exactly with options.document.allowed_types. This is how the web version already does it.

Example:

options.document.allowed_types	string used
["driving_license"]	<string name="stripe_front_of_dl">Front of driver\'s license</string>
["id_card"]	<string name="stripe_front_of_id">Front of identity card</string>
["passport"]	<string name="stripe_passport">Passport</string>
["driving_license", "id_card", "passport"]	<string name="stripe_front_of_id_document">Front of identity document</string>

But in the interface the title is always "Front of identity card" (stripe_front_of_id)

The text is stripe_position_id_front: "Position your identity card in the centre of the frame".

In the code you only use stripe_front_of_id here.

The strings stripe_front_of_dl "Front of driving licence" and "Back of driving licence" (stripe_back_of_dl) are defined but not used in the code.

---

On the first screen you use:
"Get ready to scan your photo ID" which is defined here.

@ccen-stripe I've seen that the problem seems to be solved on iOS but not yet on Android.

@ccen-stripe In the web version it explicitly says "driver’s licencse" if that is the only document that’s accepted. It would be perfect if the SDK would also do it like this:

1. Get ready to scan your driver's license
   Grab your driver's license
2. Front of driver's license
3. Flip your ID over
   Get ready to scan the back of your ID
4. Back of driver's license

I've seen that with this commit in the PR

• Update translations #8671

these new translations were added:

<string name="stripe_front_of_id_document">Front of identity document</string>
<string name="stripe_back_of_id_document">Back of identity document</string>

but they are not used in the code yet.

Would be great to have that one fixed soon!
