Tag that transforms dates into words

To obtain a date in text format, we will add “LETTERS” into the tag of a Date field. This way, the date picked on the calendar of the form will be shown in words in the document.

How to use the “LETTERS” complement?

We will need to set up the field as usual, following the indications of this article. In brief, we will write the tag in the document and create the field:

Then, without altering the configuration tag of the field, we will only need to add “LETTERS” into the tag that we wrote in the template. For example, {date} would become {dateLETTERS}.

Thanks to this complement, the platform automatically transforms the answer introduced in the form into words.

What if we need the date to be shown in a particular language?

For the transformation to be effective in the corresponding language, right after “LETTERS” we have to add an underscore, followed by the abbreviation of the language in uppercase, all inside the tag.

At the moment, the platform has up to eight transformation languages: English (“_EN”), Spanish (“_ES”), Catalan (“_CA”), Deutsch (“_DE”), Austrian German (“_DE_AT”), French (“_FR”), Italian (“_IT”) and Portuguese (“_PT”).

Then, for the platform to correctly identify the tags, we must select all the languages used through the "Multilanguage" dropdown, in the template/settings/information section:

If no language is selected, the main language of the template will be used by default.

Here you can see an example of the tags used on the template and the result on the final document.
