Create invoice PDF in different language

Hi all,

I’m just starting my own company and I’m really exited about dolibarr. There’s just one thing I can’t figure out: my dolibarr interface language is English. I have to create the invoices in an other language because of local regulations.

If I set my user-specified language (dolibarr interface / site) to the other language, the invoices are created in that language.

I would like something so I can choose in which language to print the invoice, or hard-code it somewhere. I don’t want to change my interface language every time I want to create an invoice.

Does anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,

Joris

Hello,

The language used for PDF documents is not related to Dolibarr’s user, it is related to the concerned third party.

So go to the third party card, you will see “Language by default”, set up this value to the language that you want to be used for the PDF related to this third party.

That should make the trick…

Regards.

Thanks Humphrey!

The only thing is, there’s no “Language by default” button or field in my third party card. I do see the entry in the SQL database (on NULL), but I don’t think that’s the place where I should be editting this.

Hello,

That’s quite weird… which Dolibarr version are you using ?

Don’t you see something like the attached image in your third party card ? I circled the field in red color.

Regards.

I’m using version 3.2.2.

I’d attach screenshot.

Ohhh OK I see !!

You need first to enable the multilanguage feature !

Login as an Administrator, then go to Home/Setup/Display

Then enable the multilanguage interface…

The “Language by default” will appear in the third party card.

Enjoy !

Yes, it works!!

Thanks for your help humphrey!

Hello

The setup to create the invoice in the language of the third party is OK.
By the way I would find very useful to have the same invoice printed in 2 or 3 languages, e.g.: in English as global language, in the language of the third party and in the default company country language.

The documents should be concatenated in one unique multi language document (E.G. first native language, English, third party language… or any other desired order, the user should be able to decide the language to fit specific cases)

Do you know any way to implement this feature in Dolibarr?
I hope is not too long or difficult to be done…

It would be extremely useful to handle cases where are involved complex product/services/contracts/bundles/conditions/agreements and in general information that must be surely clear to all parties which have to sign the documents in various stages up to the signature of the final invoice and proof of consignment of the goods/services.

Thank you
Bye
