Can you explain what is CREDIT SLIP?

[Renka]

I need explanation of that expression in other words for translation purposes because I have no idea what is it. Thanks!

[Bruno Leveque]

Hi Renka,

A "credit slip" is given to the customer when he's returned a product.

In french it's called "avoir", more informations in english here:

Best regards,

This is something to take notice of. If you translate credit slip in an online tool it will make for example in Portuguese: Erro de credito. Slip is indeed also an error in English. I've seen this in a few translations. Its actually a receipt to prove you have credit at the shop when you return goods, the value of the goods are then translated into credit or a gift voucher if you like. It doesnt translate directly into latin languages so be carefull. It would be a shame if Prestashop was realeased and customers were told they have "credit errors".

Hi cutmedia,

The term "credit slip" is widely used in English ("credit slip" gets over 26,000 hits on Google; "credit receipt" around 15,600), but I see your point.

However, it is my fervent hope that people are not relying on online translation tools as their only tool to translate PrestaShop. Ideally, the translation should be done by cross-referencing with good dictionaries containing multiple definitions, and also by taking the context into consideration. In the context of a translation of the RMA module, "credit slip" clearly refers to a receipt for credit and not a credit error.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Hi Peter,
I made a point of this because the mistake is in the current Portuguese translation, made by me and my partner who is native Portuguese. She translated it directly without a translation tool! We are correcting it now and will post when ready (didnt notice it untill now). Translation is never easy and I think a version control should be implemented, maybe by the different international comunities growing here that they can at least agree on an official version before release.

I can add that in the Swedish translation Credit Slip is translated into "Kreditnota" wich basicly means "Credit Bill".

[bito08]

In portuguese we say "Nota de Crédito" - when costumer send back a product and has a credit over the store (REFUND)

[brandonc503]

when would you use a credit slip and not a voucher.. if you give the money back to customer instead of just a credit voucher?

[rizham]

The term “credit slip” is widely used in English

[Global Attribute AB]

I must say "tillgodokvitto" is the right translation in Swedish.

I must say "tillgodokvitto" is the right translation in Swedish.

Tack för svaret, skulle precis fråga om detta.

[robdirckx]

In Dutch it's called: tegoedbon

[david929]

C'est du déterrage mais peut être que la solution en français intéraissera... Moi je traduis ça par " Bon d'avoir"

 

Just saying that in french I traduce that by " Bon d'avoir"

[AppleEater]

In Hebrew it was translated to "שוברי אשראי".

I believe the correct translation should be "שוברי זיכוי"

[acua]

AppleEater, did you draw those yourself? just kidding

The romanian translation to credit slip is "Rambursare"

[ebigfoot]

In Spanish it would "Vale de compra". It is delivered to the client instead of giving cash when returning a product.

 

En castellano "Credit Slips" se traduciría como "Vale de compra" que se entrega al cliente en lugar de darle dinero en metálico cuando devuelve un producto.

Thank you for all,

[SublimeProphets]

And in German we would call it "Gutschrift"

[iknowsomethingcom]

In Polish it's rather "Faktura korygująca" (let's say correcting invoice) and it's IRS document.

[RamsesLeroi]

In Dutch it's called: tegoedbon

no, a "tegoedbon" is a voucher.

 

i think it is "creditnota" in dutch.

[bdekoninck]

I confirm, it is a "creditnota" in dutch.

 

I have a problem when creating a credit slip in PS. The PDF still show "order slip #"; and the PDF is using the order template. Is there a way to use a different template for a credit slip?

 

Thanks!
