| Hello,
Although Bricklink is an America-based website, is serves a worldwide audiance
now.
My store is base in the Netherlands and I modified the emails from Bricklink
(like the invoice etc.). Now people get these bi-lingual. (Dutch and English)
The only way to make them uni-lingual again is by deleting the non-desired language-text.
It might be an idea to extend the 'List of E-Mail Conditional Block Macro
Tags' with a language-tag. When poeple prefer the text in Dutch, they can
get the Dutch-tekst, if the shop-owner provides it.
If this system is implemented, there should also be a default-tag for the text
that is to be used, if the desired language is not specified in the mail.
This will contribute to a better user-experiance.
As a web-developer, I realize that this is not easely implemented. But it might
be an idea to keep in mind for a next version of Bricklink.
With kind regards,
Carel ten Hove

What you need kind of already exists;
SHIPTO-EQ: D
returns true if the buyer is in the same country is you.
However, BL should just add a conditional macro tag that returns true if a buyer's
address appears in a specified list of countries, and another one that returns
false if it does. I bet this should take the BL team about 1 hour at most to
implement. It can be used for language, but also for other purposes - anything
for which location could be relevant. SHIPTO-EQ: D only tests 1 country, and
in our case for example we might like to generate a Dutch text for buyers from
Belgium too, for example.
We could then generate Dutch for SHIPTO-EQ:{The Netherlands,Belgium,Surinam,Aruba,
...} and English for SHIPTO-!EQ:{The Netherlands} so that in the case of Belgium
for example it generates both languages and you can leave it or delete one according
to which city you read in the buyer's address.

| Hello,
Your suggestion (SHIPTO-EQ: D) is a good start. I did n't think of that one.
Thank you. I hope BL will make a more appropriate TAG.
