Hi ,
How can i make sure that the right format is used when printing invoice for english customer vs another one?
ex: An invoice of an US customer should be in shown in this US format US: DD/MM/YYYY or the amounts on the invoice have commas instead of periods: ex. 10,25 instead of 10.25 .Is this possible?
tks

You could possibly use Labels for the format string and then use a translation file for each language (region). For example,

labels
{
DateFormat= ‘<Month,2>/<Day,2>/’,Locked=true;
NumberFormat = ‘<comma,>’, Locked=false;
}

and use it like
Format(DateToParse, 0, DateFormat);
Format(NumberToParse, 0, NumberFormat);

This will then work for ENU.
Then you would add a translation file to override these labels for each other language that it needs to be in.
