Set language for frappe.get_print()

creamdory · November 30, 2022, 2:03pm

Hi All,

We have this custom functionality where we want to save and attach the print pdf of a Doctype after it gets submitted. In doing so, we are using the frappe.get_print function passing the print_format template, the doctype, docname and using as_pdf=True to generate the file and saving it referencing to the doctype record. The thing is, it does not include language in its args so I am supposing it is getting from frappe.local.lang which I am setting with my preferred language. But still it follows the system setting language if I trigger my function in the server-side (py) event. If I trigger it in client-side (js), it uses the correct language.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I actually fixed this in our app PDF on Submit, a couple of days ago:

github.com

alyf-de/erpnext_pdf-on-submit/blob/7a9ca2ab60150452b768cfab3829245709141caa/pdf_on_submit/attach_pdf.py#L74-L78


      
          if lang:
              frappe.local.lang = lang
              # unset lang and jenv to load new language
              frappe.local.lang_full_dict = None
              frappe.local.jenv = None

With this and the latest v13+ release, {{ _("Test") }} should return the correct translation and you can use {% if frappe.lang == "de" %} 🇩🇪🎉 {% endif %} for translating longer text blocks.
