Customer language changing smartform

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an English smartform (sales order) and when the customer's language is English, the output looks fine. However if the customer language is Turkish for example, the alignment is all changed.

How can I prevent the customer's language changing the smartform? I'm not even sure how that could even be changing the form. Would setting the "Do not translate" option work?

Thanks,

William

Check with the print program just print the sf when the language is 'E'.

hope it works

Hi,

I've just split the text into two windows - one for the description text, and one for the variables. That's fixed it! 😛

Have you translated the form in customer (Turkish) language?

The difference between the text lengths in two langugages can cause the issue.

Check do you really need the form in 2 different languages?

if not then you can check the do not translate radio button, that will dsable the option of translating the form into any other language. thus the form will always be triggered in the original language (english in your case).

hope this helps you.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

No the form hasn't been translated. It appears to change when one of the partners has a language other than English. I changed it to "Do not translte" anyway but have the same problem.

Hi,

I've discovered that the variable text is wrapped when there is other text on the line.

e.g.:

&wa_name& "text is fine i.e. First Last

But:

Your name is: &wa_name& "text is wrapped i.e Last Your name is: First

Rgds,

Hi,

The option 'Do Not Translate' will cancel translation.
