Postal Code and City is in the "wrong" order for atleast Austria and Germany #4802

Closed Akjo4712 closed 3 years ago

Akjo4712 commented 3 years ago

By default Invoice Ninja uses "[City] / [State] / [Postal Code]" We here in Austria and Germany use "[Postal Code], [City]" and not the other way round. Also [State] is not needed, but thats no Problem, as it doesn't get output if it is not set.

Is there any way that you can change the Order for Countries, where this is the other way round? I don't know if there are any other Countries which write it the like we do.

This is no big deal, i can life with the "wrong" notation, as it leads to no Problems, but it doesn't feel right and customers are always making a joke of it beeing in the wrong order.

What version of Invoice Ninja are you running? ie v4.5 / v5 v5.0.56-C40

What environment are you running? Docker

@Akjo4712

So i believe the functionality for this exists, just you would need to manually change this in

Settings > Invoice Design > Client Details.

Remove City/State/Postal and add in Postal/City/State

You are right, this is an option to choose. I was in that menue some time ago, either i oversee it or this option was added later, nethermind, thanks for help!

Has this been changed over the versions? I don't see aforementioned solution in the settings in version 5.3.41. I've set my company and clients to "The Netherlands", but the order on invoices is wrong.

It should be [postal code] [city], but I'm seeing [city] [postal code]

See here for reference: https://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/netherlands/

@w4tchout did you see the answer above?

you can select which one you prefer.

@turbo124 Thanks. I did. Apparently the Dutch translation for those options is wrong. After switching to English I found the options as shown above. In Dutch the option Postal/City/State translates to Provincie (Province) and City/State/Postal translates to Postcode (Postal code). 2022-01-08 07_39_23-Invoice Ninja — Mozilla Firefox

@w4tchout

ah, most likely the translations are incorrect in transifex for this language.
