    Liebes Support Team,

    ich habe einen Lieferschein auf Basis einer Vorlage erstellt. Hier werden auch die Einzelpreise und Summen ausgegeben. Leider wird bei der Dezimaltrennung nicht das Komma verwendet sondern der Punkt. Währung Euro wird richtig angezeigt.

    Auch werden beim pdf plötzlich z.T. die englischen Begriffe für Beschreibung, Preis/Einheit und Betrag verwendet, obwohl in der Vorlage alles auf deutsch angelegt ist.

    Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dies umzustellen?

    Vielen Dank.

    Viele Grüße

    Hello Christian,

    Thanks for patiently waiting. We successfully created a workaround for turning the point to a comma that can be used as a decimal separator. Let me show you how:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    • Under the Widgets tab, search for the Masked Input and add it to your form.

    • Click the wand icon in the Masked input and make sure that the Decimal Separator is set to comma.

    • Then, add a conditional logic that would copy the value from 'Bestellte Artikel' when filled to the Masked Input Widget. This guide shows you how:

    • Finally, try formatting the PDF editor to make the Masked Input Widget your Total section so that it displays your desired decimal separator.

    Now, with regard to the non-translated language in the PDF, it was actually reliant on the current language selection on your account. Let me show you that when I change the language settings in my form, the description and amount are translated as soon as I refresh it.
