Translation of System Generated Documents

This article outlines which documents will appear in which language to which type of user under which conditions.

The general rule of thumb is that a preview of a document will always be displayed in the language of the person viewing it.

When a document is sent it will be in the language of the person receiving it.

This ensures that the person previewing it can check for any errors which they may not be able to do if they do not speak the recipients language.

Step-by-step guide

There are a few exceptions though, when the document is intended to be printed out. These include:
