Multi language email notifications was created by boyjahq
Is there a way to have various email notifications be sent using the language preference of the receiver rather than the sender? Our member have specified the language they prefer for using the site in the language parameters setting at time of registration and mostly they get automatic notifications in their preferred language. But in cases such as, for example, replying to a personal message from the English side but the reply is going to someone on the Japanese side, the language of FROM_HAS_REPLIED_MESSAGE is in the language of the sender, not the receiver.

Is there a way to specify that notifications be sent in via the language string of the recipient's language rather than the sender's?

It is the same with EMAIL_NOTE_AUTOMATIC_GENERATION. It seems (mostly) to be based on the sender's language (or the sites default language, which is set to English). It would be great if the language of this string could be determined by the recipient's chosen language.

That should already be the case for most emails.

But in cases such as, for example, replying to a personal message from the English side but the reply is going to someone on the Japanese side, the language of FROM_HAS_REPLIED_MESSAGE is in the language of the sender, not the receiver.

Are there any other emails doing this as well? If possible please provide a list of emails doing this that you're aware of and will check to make sure they're doing the language switch before processing the language strings.

UE_CONNECTIONPENDSUB and UE_CONNECTIONPENDMSG are delivered in the language of the sender, not the receiver.

Also, how can we get this particular email to be in HTML format? Replacing line returns with <br /> in the above language overrides simply displays <br /> in the message and line breaks are no longer created.

We are going through and trying to change all emails to HTML format as per your suggestion in response to another one of my threads ( www.joomlapolis.com/forum/255-developer-members-support/243517-modify-the-contents-of-email-notification-of-new-private-message#322907 )

As a result, this particular email now also contains the email footer EMAIL_NOTE_AUTOMATIC_GENERATION that is in HTML format, which is not processed as HTML and so shows <br /> instead of line breaks.

Ok, I see why. Those strings are parsed before being sent to email API so the language switch isn't applied to them. Have added a bug ticket to fix.

Those notifications are already HTML notifications, but looks like wrong mode is being passed to email API. Have made a note to fix that with the language switch issue.

Yup, that's due to the wrong mode being send to email API noted above.

This is now fixed in latest CB Auto Actions release. The Email auto action type will now attempt to set the language based off recipient as long as there is only 1 recipient. For multiple recipients it won't be able to do this.

UE_CONNECTIONPENDSUB and UE_CONNECTIONPENDMSG are from the language file in components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language. They are generated by the Connections plugin. Is that related to Auto Actions? These notifications are still being delivered in the language of the sender, not the receiver. And the EMAIL_NOTE_AUTOMATIC_GENERATION text is still being sent as text and not HTML.
