Possible Multilanguage Support Issue

Hey Madous,

My apologies, I cant say I have tested this with any other language other than english. The system has been known to break when ‘feign’ characters are entered into the column titles. At this stage I unfortunately dont have a fix for this at this time.

I wish I had better news for you.

Sorry again

Hello Ash, and thank you for the fast response

I believe you have done an amazing job on this plugin, and i am very grateful you giving it away for free. I hope it will grow even more, for it to worth more of your time.

Ill try tinker with it, maybe add charset=UTF-8 or possibly could be just a font issue, arial is the most multi language compatible. If i find something ill share.

Once again thank you
Best Regards
Madous

Madous,

Cheers for the kind words ??

If your going to tinker then heres a head start:

• The default PDF theme is already in UTF-8 and using Arial
• The admin area follows the general styling of the wordpress admin, apart from the invoice values itself, which are matched to the output of the PDF, being Arial
• The issue in the admin has stemmed from the javascript as I use the column names to define the values in the totals. With the column names being turned into javascript variables, the script doesn’t like it.

I’ve had a few ideas as to how to get around it, but haven’t really had the time to investigate it properly, so if you do work out the solution to it, I’d be very grateful.

Cheers,

Ash

Hi Ash,
Thanks a lot on your work for making an awesome plugin. I had problem with the generated pdf in other alphabets(languages) like Cyrillic (the pdf was empty/full with non understandable letters).
You are using the standard fPDF class on the plugin for generating the PDFs(doesn’t support unicode characters).
You should be using at least tfPDF – https://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script92.php – modified fPDF class which support Unicode characters.
While using the tfPDF you won’t be needing iconv(), and should be removed from the template.

Hope the fix will be applied to the official release channel so other users don’t have problems.

If you need anything – I’m here. ??

Thanks

Hey guys,

i finally have a version of the plugin working so Ash feel free to send me an email at [email protected] to send it to you for confirmation.

p.s.Thanks Macedonius your input was of much help and would like to thank Vasyl Kuzenko from kuzenko.net who helped me implement it.

Cheers

Hi Ash,

I have the same problem with the french accent ex: é,è,ê,? do you plan to correct this problem soon?

Thanks
