Generate TCPDF file in two languages

Hi !

I want to send by e-mail a PDF invoice to my customers. It works great with Chronoforms and TCPDF, but my website has two languages and I want to be able to send a PDF in french if the locale is set to fr_FR and in german if the locale is set to de_DE (my company logo is not the same for these two languages).

It is possible to generate two separates TCPDF files with an event switcher ? Is there a shortcode that's tell me which language is actually in use ?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Cédric

Hi CedricCQ,

You can use an Event Switcher to create two different PDFs. Personally I'd probably create the template there as a form variable and then use a single TCPDF action after the Event Switcher to actually create the PDF.

The Joomla Language functions should let you get the current language info. See this StackOverFlow answer.
