Using the address component in a flow with State/Country picklists and translations

Hi everyone,
I've got a flow in an org that is used to create person accounts.This org also uses state/country picklists and has translations for the states/countries loaded in for languages via the translation workbench.

This flow uses the standard Address lightning component (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=flow_ref_elements_screencmp_address.htm&type=5) to allow our users to enter a mailing address for the person accounts, and this has worked prefectly well for our English users but we're now running into issues with other languages.

For example: When using a Portuguese user to enter an address in Brazil (which would mean choosing the value "Brasil" in Portuguese from the country picklist) causes an exception to be thrown.

I believe this is happening because the flow is trying to insert the literal value "Brasil" into the "country" field whereas the picklist is expecting "Brazil". Is there a way we can configure that component to use the CountryCode field instead?

Can you provide the exception you are seeing? Also, steps you are following to replicate how Portuguese user can enter an address in Brazil ?Any additional information like a screenshot would help. Thanks

I ran into this issue too.  My solution was to add an Assignment after the Screen Element:
Fix Address

Where Get User is the name of my sObject for User and I'm using the standard Address field on User:

CountryCode 
IF(LEN({!Get_User.Country}) = 2, {!Get_User.Country}, TEXT({!Get_User.CountryCode}))
StateCode 
IF(LEN({!Get_User.State}) = 2, {!Get_User.State}, TEXT({!Get_User.StateCode}))

Then Update User after
