Hi Jeebee,

Go to Setting-> Translation -> Load a language -> Overwrite Existing Terms(=True) -> Load.

Create a new invoice, his date's will be in french.

Hi JeeBee,

Please check you have included the keyword "formatlang" on the date field in the report RML file. This takes the date format as defined in your language settings else it takes the default date format. Using "formatlang" should solve the issue.
