Payment Method Translation In Invoice Pdf

[yoko-t]

I'm using Japanese as my default language and invoice PDFs are translated in Japanese.

 

But I have a problem. in invoice PDF, there is a part which displays payment method. but the part is not translated to Japanese. instead it displays such as 'Paypal' or 'Bank Wire' and I want to make them displayed in Japanese.

 

I checked the source code of /pdf/invoice-new.tpl and the part was like this:

 

<td style="width: 50%">{$payment->payment_method}</td>

 

I don't know how to fix this part and translate it into my default language.

 

Thanks in advance.

The paymend method translation is not there. We wont to change "PayPal", " Bank Wire".... Payment method is in English :/

First, PayPal is a "brand". You don't change or translate PayPal. In other words if you are on Mars and speaking to a Martian ... you are both saying PayPal.

 

That said, to change PayPal it does depend on which PayPal module is in use. You might look in your PayPal Module folder and see if it contains a file called translations.xml , if so translations are arranged in that file by country ISO code.

 

For Bank Wire, here is a thread that may help,

Well, in Japan they translate everything into Japanese. In Japan, for instance, they have Makudonaldo instead of McDonald's.

Interesting. Payment methods are really brands. You can't translate them.

 

I would use an {if} condition. Something like:

{if  $iso_code == 'ja'}
    {if $payment->payment_method == 'bankwire'}
        Bankwire in Japanese
    {elseif $payment->payment_method == 'paypal'}
        PayPal in Japanese
    {/if}
{else}
    {$payment->payment_method}
{/if}

Variables must be changes. It is just an idea.

Thanks. This is a solution. Once done, how can we contribute the fixes to the bankwire module?

I don't know if it is possible. This patch is just for you, you need to translate texts as well. The solution is very individual.
