Ecommerce - Invoice in multiple languages
Hi

I have a multi-lingual site and would like to be able to send out an invoice based on the users selected culture during their purchase

Is this possible and if so how should we proceed.

Thanks,

RE:Ecommerce - Invoice in multiple languages
Hi,

you can localize the invoice (Tools > E-commerce > Configuration > Invoice) using localization macros as you would normally do. Localization macro is defined as {$string.key$}.
More information about localization macros you can find here:

How does system know which language to send to each customer?
Customers aren't USERS on site.

How does system know which culture of string to send?

Hi,

the language version is set based on the cookie (CMSPreferredCulture). This cookie is created based on the preferred culture of visitors' (public user's) browser. If the culture of browser is not supported by the system, the default culture is used. In other words, invoice emails will be in the culture, in which the user creates the order.

Hi,

yes, the order should be stored in the database in the culture it was made in.
