Description

Found that in the latest version of the app potentially not all strings used by iOS to show a dialog to the user allowing to grant access to privacy sensitive features (Camera, Photo Library etc.) are consistently localized. E.g. NSCameraUsageDescription which is required for document scanner.

Compare the strings required by the document scanner and other privacy-sensitive features across supported locales, then verify that the corresponding permission dialogs display localized text.
