Printed content from POS and XKM are translated into the preferred, local language of the site, which is in compliance with local laws.
Affected Components:
Xenial Cloud POS (XPOS)
Xenial Kitchen Management (XKM)
Printers
Print requests sent by POS are translated to the preferred language of the site. Translations include user-defined strings—such as order item names and destination names—and system strings, which include printer and transaction types. The language used in the POS app does not affect the language on the printed receipt.
When POS is required to print two receipts, the merchant copy always prints in the site-preferred language; while the customer copy prints using either the cardholder language—received from the payment processor—or the merchant site-preferred language. Either way, the customers will fully understand the content of their receipt.
Printed content from XKM—such as bump chits and item label—appears in the preferred language of the site.

Note that at this time functionality is limited to only the most recent unregistered clock event. If extended connectivity issues persist, site managers must manually input other clock events.
