PDF invoice

[aalexia]

Hi everyone,

When i generate an invoice pdf to print, all different language lines are shown for each product name like [:fr]...[:en]...[:]. This is not the same issue for the mail, but just the pdf.
Do you have any solution ? I tried to modify options but it doesn't fix it.
Thanks,
Alexia

Hello @aalexia
I have tried many plugin for invoice generation, but all have the same problem.

I've directly contact the creator of "WooCommerce PDF Invoices and Packing Slips Bundle" plugin.
They simply answered me that they no longer support qtranslate-x (only WPML and Polylang).

My last chance is now Yithemes. I've written to them and they are testing the premium version of this plugin (https://yithemes.com/themes/plugins/yith-woocommerce-pdf-invoice/) to find out if it's compatible with qtranslate-x because the free one of course isn't.

If you want, when I will receive their feedback I should write you back!

Hello @valerensi
Thanks for your answer ! It's a pity for the plugin.
Indeed, i'm interested by your feedback :)

Have a good day !

Hello @aalexia,
we have modified the plugin adding a php tag qtranxf_gettext in the product name:

<span class="item-name"><?php echo qtranxf_gettext($item['name']); ?></span>

This solve the issue for us.

Hi @aalexia I am having the same problem as you. Did you try the solution offered by @valerensi ?

Thanks in advance

Hi @imreba we have found an other solution by adding a custom field in each product with a custom name (for exemple "designation_fr"), then you just have to add custom file (Product) in the plugin PDF (tab Customizer), and put in the Field name box your custom name "designation_fr".
Hope it will work for you !

@valerensi that is a great solution, I have changed this too and it's working now, so thanks for that!

For other people the file can be found in: wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/templates/Simple/invoice.php
Or it is in you (child)theme directory: wp-content/themes/the-theme-folder/woocommerce/pdf/the-custom-template-name/invoice.php

Around line number #93 you will find: <span class="item-name"><?php echo $item['name']; ?></span>
Change this into: <span class="item-name"><?php echo qtranxf_gettext($item['name']); ?></span>
