Hi 👋

Do you mean localization? Translating into different languages based on the Accpet Language header from the browser?

gleaming citrus Oct 20, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

Yes I mean localization, but in this case it would be for the invoices we send via email

#

Or you send based on subscriptions

pastel thorn Oct 20, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

AFAIK we do localize the descriptions and prices but Product Names are considered unique

#

Example: Coke is still called Coke in France, or Zimbabwe

pastel thorn AFAIK we do localize the descriptions and prices but Product Names are considere...

Are they always ? Looking at a SaaS product you would say "50€ per user" in english but "50€ pro Nutzer" in german

#

When looking at the invoices I think the product names are shown on them and not the price names. I also cannot find a way to localize the price either actually

pastel thorn Oct 20, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

Wait I thought you said Product Name is what you were interested in localizing.

#

But this is more price/description.

gleaming citrus Oct 20, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

Yes, sorry, maybe I need to clarify exactly. I am checking if I can make the invoices use the localised name

#

If thats even a possibility

#

You can test this by creating a Customer with a set preferred_locales https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-preferred_locales property and then generate an invoice for them.

#

Yes I did that, but it always uses the price name I gave it. Which makes sense to me since stripe does not know how to translate my own names.

Can I not set a different name for other locales ?

pastel thorn Oct 20, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

No I don't think we have that as a feature

gleaming citrus Oct 20, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

Maybe I could listen to the invoice generation in the webhooks and then adjust the line item descriptors ?

pastel thorn Oct 20, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

The name of the Price/Product will not be localized but the payment descriptions are. Here is an example of a test I created just now

#

Once an invoice is finalized we do not allow editing of the line items. YOu will see they are not listed as a parameter in the Update API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/update

gleaming citrus Oct 20, 2023, 5:01 PM

#

What about the invoice-item description ? https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/update#update_invoiceitem-description

Stripe API reference – Update an invoice item – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

Given that the invoice will still be in draft of course

pastel thorn Oct 20, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

In that case it might work. I would test this out first.
