Country of Residence

many?

worried ? Methinks thou protest too much..., whose worried

Thanks Frank II. There're many examples of translations not being exact, even in official documents.

I think it was the “abroad “ after it that threw people off.

That's all it takes. As Frank II said, its not the way a typical American would say it - an example of our US-centric way of thinking. Just like all those times when a headline of "Country X to open doors to international travelers" resulted in people assuming "international" specifically meant US travelers.

I am trying to fill out the French form, and it asks for country of residence abroad and also country where I received vaccine. I keep entering "United States" and it keeps saying "result not found". There is no drop down menu to pick the USA. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? Thank you!

The answer is Etats Unis.

United States/USA is in English.

États Unis? That's French.

As Nigel is saying, type in “ETA” in the country drop down box, and you’ll get what you need — Etats-Unis, which is the French way of saying “United States.”

when I filled out the form these lines were served by a drop down menu -- they did not allow me to type in an answer

Another reason for avoiding Google translate

Indeed it is a dropdown menu, as I said, but you can type to search within the dropdown.
