 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your very helpful plugin.
 * You have mentioned many times that for full WPML support it is necessary to get
   the professional version.
 * However, if I still use the free version, which language the plugin will choose
   for an invoice: site default language, client language (language of the order)
   or admin dashboard language? Please explain the plugin’s logic here.
 * Thank you,

 * I’m not the author of the plugin, but I can tell you what I see on my sites.
   
   With the free plugin the invoice is in my sites language (Dutch). My guess is
   it looks at the language set for WooCommerce. They have no WPLM by the way…

 * Hi! For the free version with WPML, there is no ‘logic’ in terms of the language
   of the invoice (or at least it varies widely depending on the setting) – the 
   translations are handled by WordPress and WPML alone and the PDF Invoice plugin
   does not interfere _anywhere_in this process. This may produce unreliable results
   and highly depends on your specific WPML configuration (for some people it works
   out of the box even with the free version, for others it doesn’t).
 * What the Professional extension does is simply homogenizing the output: it will
   make sure that before the PDF is generated, the language is always set to the
   customer language (or overriden to the store language, this is a setting).
 * As far as the above answer from [@rixter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rixter/),
   indeed without WPML the invoice is always translated to the WordPress language(
   or User Profile language if it differs from the main site language).
 * Hope that explains things!
