facetec-api now refuses a scan whose face does not match the photo on the document's chip (sirosfoundation/facetec-api#77). Without a message of its own it fell through to the generic "identity could not be verified". Translated into Greek, Finnish, Portuguese and Swedish like the other Photo ID messages.

It was not written by a native speaker, so please have it reviewed. The texts match sirosfoundation/wallet-android-wrapper#44 word for word.
