This is German customs requires:the name details (last-, -firstname) of the recipient must be indicated in export documents in Latin characters/ pinyin or phonetic typing(without CN characters).
but in our shop system(version 3.7) , the customers fill their first name and last name in Chinese Characters and we don't want to ask the customers to refill their first&last name in PinYin again(for user friendly).
so we want to simplify the Chinese Characters into PinYin in backend.
Now potential solution concept:
After order is placed a module / script is creating a request over 3rd party translation API to translate recipients CN name into pinyin/ Latin/ western characters
Order can only be transferred if field value for "pinyin" exists.
doesn't anyone know how to do it?
