Customize Email notifications (How to define multilingual templates)

Using conditional statements in the templates will make it possible to include specific information in the email notifications or even select the right language to communicate with your clients and supplier users. See some examples below:

• IF - ELSE - ENDIF:
  {% if JobStatusCode == 'InProgress' or JobStatusCode == 'Completed' %} In progress! {% else %}Not in progress! {% endif %}
  
  
• CASE - WHEN - WHEN - ELSE - ENDCASE:
  {% case JobStatusCode %} {% when 'InProgress' %} In progress! {% when 'Cancelled' %}Cancelled! {% else %}Other status! {% endcase %}

Multilingual example
The example below illustrates how to use conditional statements in the Job Notification events to communicate in the languages configured for the recipient Company.

1. Define the language of each company in the details section of that company. This can be configured in the supplier/client configuration section.
2. In the Email templates, follow the example below. You can configure the notifications for as many languages as you want:
   1. Include the clause '{% case DestinationLanguage %}' in the template, structure to define the text to print in the email based on the destination language set to for the company.
      
3. Defining text in several languages :

• Prepare the text for companies that have German as communication language:
  
  {% case DestinationLanguage %} → In case the destination language is set to.......
  {% when 'de' %} →  Language setup to "de"
  {% if DestinationAny %} → All events and notifications you want to inform about
  Guten Tag 
  {{DestinationFirstNameOrFullNameOrCompany}} →  Placeholders
  
  
• Prepare the text for companies that have French as communication language:
  
  {% when 'fr' %} →  Language setup to "fr"
  {% if DestinationAny %} → All events and notifications you want to inform about
  Bonjour
  {{DestinationFirstNameOrFullNameOrCompany}} →  Placeholders
  
  
• Prepare the text that will be shown for companies who use any other communication language (different than the ones previously defined):
  {% else %}
  {% if DestinationAny %} →  All events and notifications you want to inform about
  Hello
  {{DestinationFirstNameOrFullNameOrCompany}} →  Placeholders
  {% endcase %}

Think about editing the templates in HTML mode when defining these conditions, since it will make it easier to verify the information for each language is nested correctly:
