Country is accurate for all mailing addresses

Your readers do not know in which country you are in, especially in an international context. By specifying the country associated with your mailing address (e.g. social size), you adapt your communication to a global audience, which makes the information more comprehensible and usable. Cette clarté est d’autant plus importante dans les cas de guide de voyage, d’annuaire, de manuel international, ou de livre professionnel.

Objectives

  • Enable immediate and unambiguous identification of the country associated with each postal address, without the reader needing to deduce this information from other elements such as the city, region, postal code, or phone number.

Implementation

  • Explicitly indicate the country in text form within every postal address present in the ebook.

Control

  • For each postal address, make sure that the country is mentioned in a textual and explicit manner, directly after the address.

Validation

  • Needs to be verified by a human.
