That's not quite accurate. Even foreigners can use it when they get an
eID [1] which they can apply for when they have a residence permit. You
can be a user of this app without speaking German.

The manpage was contributed by a Debian Developer which probably explains
this.

Since I assume you have provided that manpage, have you considered sending
it upstream? They are usually very happy to take patches.

Again, it's a common misconception that AusweisApp is exclusive to Germans
with a personal ID. Foreigners can use it with an eID which is why the app
itself is also translated into different languages.
