Any recommendation on AR Invoices to print in a foreign language

Looking to have AR Invoices printed in English for the US based customers and then have them print in Portuguese and German for those country specific customers. They will need to print in the respective native language as well as currency.

Just looking for the best options to make this happen.

This begins with setting the language on the customer record and getting all the languages’ translations for the labels on the SSRS report. If you want to you could also buy the language packs from Epicor as they are supposed to have all the language translations for the report labels as well.

Then you need the multicurrency module and the exchange rates - or you need some UD space for exchange rates and do all the math for the fields on the report. It would be easier to use the multicurrency module and do the transactions in the customer’s currency (versus your company’s base currency)

We do all of this, in 4 languages (English, Dutch, French, German) and use the customer’s language setting in an IF…THEN statement in each label of the SSRS report. And we translate some of our comment fields and such using our multi-lingual customer service folks. Plus we have multi-currency module and download currency rates every day…

And then the other way is to have a German and Portuguese version of the SSRS (and separate report styles) and do a little bit of the work for currency in the appropriate fields. (I might just add a few fields alongside of the $USD fields such as Unit price, Extended Price, and Invoice Total).
