Hello,
It seems that tokens are not translated when using "pdf letter" or mailing.  Specially  {contact.country} which systematicaly output the country name in english.
How could I acheive this ?
Thanks,
Marc

For archiving, if someone is interested.
Although I think it should be in core and not in a drupal module: Country + State should be translated in a token.

This is the drupal custom_token.module
I have limited it to Create Label, but can easily be extended to other contexts.

function custom_tokens_civicrm_tokenValues(&$values, $cids, $job = null, $tokens = array(), $context = null){
        civicrm_initialize( );
        require_once 'CRM/Core/PseudoConstant.php';

        if  ($context == "CRM_Contact_Form_Task_Label")
        {
                foreach ($cids as $cid)
                {
                        if (isset($values[$cid]["country_id"])){
                                $values[$cid]["country"] = CRM_Core_PseudoConstant::country($values[$cid]["country_id"]);
                               
                        }

                }
        }
}


yeah, good point.

My question is: is there a reason why these tokens are not translated in core, or is it just never build?

I traced it to CRM/Utils/Token.php, getTokenDetails(), but from there it calls:


    $query = new CRM_Contact_BAO_Query($params, $returnProperties);
    $details = $query->apiQuery($params, $returnProperties, NULL, NULL, 0, $numberofContacts);

Then it goes into CRM/Contact/BAO/Query.php, and in there, it does a LEFT JOIN on civicrm_address.

How to change that for a PseudoConstant?

I hate to complicate an already very complicated area, but....

Some of my clients want their addresses to be English or French depending on the recipient, not the language of the current user. This is particularly the case when printing a PDF letter or running labels. They operate their website in English and French so the CiviCRM instance is multilingual.

What would be the best way to handle something like this? Store language preference by contact, then use that to determine the language to use to render the province field?
