In most of the forms for document generation a control for adjusting the Export language as shown below is included. The drop down box always offers an item "(default)" and language codes for all translation languages available in the database. If you select the default value, the original labels, details a.s.o. is used in the generated document. If you select a specific language code, the corresponding tranlated values are exported. If no tranlation is stored in the database for a specific value, the original value is used instead.
If you select the option Use wording, for descriptions, descriptors and categorical states the values of the fields "wording" are exported instead of the names. For summary data additionally the values "wording before" and "wording after", which may be specified for each descriptor, are inserted before and after the values. If no wording is specified, the original name is used.
