Tip: Multilingual Quotes

[jeremyhaber]

Hey Guys;

 

I was recently asked if it was possible to make the quotes in WHMCS generate a pdf file using the clients language preference.

 

The simple answer is yes.

 

Add the following to the top of quotepdf.tpl just after <?php

if ($clientsdetails["language"]) {
   unset($_LANG);
   copy ( ROOTDIR."/lang/".$clientsdetails["language"].".txt", ROOTDIR."/lang/".$clientsdetails["language"].".php");

   $current = file_get_contents(ROOTDIR."/lang/".$clientsdetails["language"].".php");
   $current = "<?php 
".$current;
   file_put_contents(ROOTDIR."/lang/".$clientsdetails["language"].".php", $current);

   include ROOTDIR."/lang/".$clientsdetails["language"].".php";
   unlink(ROOTDIR."/lang/".$clientsdetails["language"].".php");
}

 

What this does is unsets the current language and reloads the clients language.

 

Now all you have to do is change the static text into language variables

 

Hope this helps!

Thank you Jeremy!!

This is extremely helpful,and it works really well.

 

Has anyone noticed that the email being sent out with the quotes does ignore the set language?

It is not working with me. No matter what language I have set, it is just sending out the default language wihich is of course really annoying.

 

I tried using:

{if $language == "French"}

french version

{elseif $language == "English"}

english version

{else}

default language version

{/if}

 

But it deletes the first entry and then shows {else} and {/if} as plain text.

 

Not sure why Matt has not fixed this yet. But if anyone has a solution I would really apreciate it.
