as per the documentation, it's normally used in links, e.g if you want to specify a currency or a language used when a client sees a page / product... what do you want to do with it ?

when they choose a lang it  change the currency english will be pounds and german euro and so on...

the simplistic way to do that would be to edit header.tpl and change...

<a href="{$currentpagelinkback}language={$locale.language}">{$locale.localisedName}</a>

to...

<a href="{$currentpagelinkback}language={$locale.language}{if !$loggedin}{if $locale.language eq 'english'}&currency=1{elseif $locale.language|in_array:['catalan','dutch','french','german','italian','portuguese-pt','spanish']}&currency=14{/if}{/if}">{$locale.localisedName}</a>

you'd have to change the currency values to suit your own installation settings, but it would work and would only apply to clients who were not logged in - as clients cannot change their currency.

one problem with this solution would be those users that chose English as their language - are they from the UK (Pound), Ireland (Euro), USA (USD), Australia (AUD), New Zealand (NZD) ???

therefore, it might be better for you to use the free Geolocation Hook from ModulesGarden - with that, you can define a language and/or currency for each country and will therefore be more accurate than the above code.

Automate the switch of a currency, language or even the template of your WHMCS client area depending on the location of your audience. Upon detection of a country from where each of your visitors is, these crucial elements of your website will be adjusted instantly to secure customer experience that is personalized to perfection.

Under quick and very simple configuration, you will be able to benefit from MaxMind GeoIP2 or apply your own submodule to identify the location of not logged in users. As another option, you can choose the template to be changed according to the device used, be it a tablet or a mobile, or even the domain your visitor was redirected from. The hook will grant you the flexibility to select specific pages of your website where the alteration of its components should be performed. It will be also up to you whether to permit your clients to personally switch the currency.

Hello,

 

I need your help please. I already have English an Spanish versions of my website and I'm working on Portuguese translation. 

The link I normally use to provide a Spanish version of the order page looks like this: https://mywebsite.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=2currency=2&language=Spanish

That doesn't work for the Portuguese version when I make it  https://mywebsite.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=2currency=2&language=Portuguese

 

Waiting for your answer.

 

Thanks

there are two different Portuguese language files in WHMCS - one for Portuguese and another for Portuguese (Brazil)..

• for customers using Portuguese, the link would be -> https://mywebsite.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=2currency=2&language=portuguese_pt
• if you have customers using Portuguese (Brazil), the link would be -> https://mywebsite.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=2currency=2&language=portuguese_br (you might need to change the currency value for Brazilian customers).
