Multi-language email notifications
Hi all, I don't have a question but thought I could share some ideas here. It looks like most members of the community are happy with email notifications in english only. Unfortunately, one of our customers has a legal requirement to offer as well the user interface as the communication in English and French. My approach is to add a parameter to the workflow that represents the selected UI language in AP. In addition, I will duplicate the "email notification" activity to define a MailBody in English and a second one in French. Using a run condition for these activites checking the newly created parameter should solve the requirement. Just as a point to start from I added this powershell webservice to my environment and it seems to work well. Of course, there will be more efficient ways to solve this :-) Hope this helps :-) Axel --- AP powershell webservice --- function AP_language { param( $Username ) #Open Database connection to AP database $connection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection $connection.ConnectionString = "Server=SnowAutomationPlatformSQLServer; Database=SnowAutomationPlatformDomain;Trusted_Connection=True;" $connection.Open() # Build Command string to read UserID from database $command = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLCommand $command.Connection = $connection $command.CommandText = "SELECT Id FROM dbo.Users where UserId = '$Username';" # read UserID from database $UserID = $command.ExecuteScalar() # Build next command string to read CurrentCulture for selected User $command = New-Object System.Data.SQLClient.SQLCommand $command.Connection = $connection $command.CommandText = "SELECT [value] FROM dbo.UserSettings where UserId = '$UserID' AND [Key] = 'CurrentCulture';" # Read CurrentCulture from database $UserLang = $command.ExecuteScalar() # value from db looks like {"value":"de"} - get language code if ($Userlang.contains("de")) { # German language selected $result = "de" } Elseif ($Userlang.contains("fr")) { # French language selected $result = "fr" } Else { # all other language selections $result = "en" } $Connection.Close() # close database connection $result } #End function

Hi Axel,
I believe this is a post from the previous system and is more of a "post" than a "question" in this version of Snow Globe, and therefor i'm adding an answer here to mark it as completed just to get it filtered out as completed :)
Perhaps you have a updated solution for this to share?
Also, I believe there are no real tools within AP for this. If you have a suggestion of something that would work well for this, please add it to the ideas board! :)
Thank you!
