Invoice Language

[Mr.SerikuS]

Hello, i searched half-google and didn`t get clear answer.

 

How can i set invoices in only one language? I have 2-language website, latvian and russian. We have official language in country - latvian, and i want to get ALL invoices in latvian, not on russian (my admin accaunt uses rus, and some customers uses it too). 

 

I tried to translate all PDF in localisation, but delivery and some module names still in russian. So - what should i modify? (Presta default language is latvian).

 

P.S.:

 

Found this soulution:

 

But i dont know how to make this line 

$this->order->id_lang

to get latvian (or default language, or lang id.). Tried some variants, but they didnt worked.

protected function getTemplate($template_name)
{
  $template = false;
  $default_template = _PS_PDF_DIR_.'/'.$template_name.'.tpl';
  $overriden_template = _PS_THEME_DIR_.'pdf/'.$template_name.'.tpl';
  if (file_exists($overriden_template))
   $template = $overriden_template;
  else if (file_exists($default_template))
   $template = $default_template;
  
  // SELECT ORDER LANGUAGE FOR THE TEMPLATE
  if ( $this->order )
    Context::getContext()->language = new Language($this->order->id_lang);
  
  return $template;
}

You set the language for the whole shop using:

Context::getContext()->language

You should rather change the language just for the invoice. Look at the /classes/pdf/PDF.php file, the setFontForLang function

public function render($display = true)
    {
        $render = false;
        $this->pdf_renderer->setFontForLang(Context::getContext()->language->iso_code);
...

Hello! Thank you for answer. I changed

$this->pdf_renderer->setFontForLang(lv); /* Context::getContext()->language->iso_code*/

but invoice still generates in account language.

 

 

Found for me:

protected function getTemplate($template_name)
{
$template = false;
$default_template = _PS_PDF_DIR_.'/'.$template_name.'.tpl';
$overriden_template = _PS_THEME_DIR_.'pdf/'.$template_name.'.tpl';
if (file_exists($overriden_template))
$template = $overriden_template;
else if (file_exists($default_template))
$template = $default_template;

// SELECT ORDER LANGUAGE FOR THE TEMPLATE
if ( $this->order )
Context::getContext()->language = new Language($this->order->id_lang);

return $template;
}

In this line:

Context::getContext()->language = new Language($this->order->id_lang);

Changed 

$this->order->id_lang

to my language ID (Latvian was 2, so changed for 2) and my invoices become in one language.

[Dr.Radon]

first of all thanks for the answers. I´ve a similar problem.

I´ve customers from different countries with different languages.

 

When I download an invoice from an italian customer with my german backend language, than the invoice is generated in german.

Therefore I´ve to change my backends language for a few seconds to italian, download the invoice (now it´s in italian) and switch back to german again.

 

do you have any idead how I can change this behavior.

 

thx

It is a feature. In the Back Office, employee's language is used. In the Front Office, customer's one.

 

The M4 PDF Extensions module has a switch for changing the invoice language. See 11th image in the slideshow at http://www.presta-addons.com/en/modules/3-pdf-extensions.html

It's kind of an anti-feature if you print the PDF from backend in order to put it into shipping for the customer.

Also, paying for a rather expensive addon shouldn't be a necessity for something as basic as this.

So is there a possibility to change the file pdf.php in such a way that it always generates the invoice in the customer's language?

For anyone who may interest.

For Prestashop 1.6 & 1.7

To print invoice from BO with customer language, go to /classes/pdf/HTMLTemplateInvoice.php

 

Under public function __construct, serach for :

 // header informations
$this->date = Tools::displayDate($order_invoice->date_add);

Just insert below:

Context::getContext()->language = new Language($this->order->id_lang);

 

That's all
