Impossible to generate mandate pdf in other language

[ghost]

It does not seem possible to generate mandate PDF in other language.

https://developer.gocardless.com/api-reference/#mandate-pdfs-create-a-mandate-pdf

In Python, it is possible to do the following:

client.mandate_pdfs.create(params={
  "iban": "FR14BARC20000055779911"
}, headers={
  "Accept-Language": "fr"
})

Is there any possibility to do this with this library?

Thanks for the report! We'll have a fix out for this in the next few days.

Hi! Could you update the related docs also? https://developer.gocardless.com/api-reference/#helper-endpoints-mandate-pdfs

I had to search for the code to understand that customHeaders are the third parameter and I had to use it like this:

      const { url } = await client.mandatePdfs.create(
        {
          links: {
            mandate: mandateId,
          },
        },
        '',
        {
          'Accept-Language': language,
        },
      );

I think it could be good to have this in the docs for others. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, good shout! We've recently updated the docs, so the most recent version should be available shortly.

Are you sure that this is actually working? I tried this but I had to put an empty string as a second parameter for the idempotencyKey. Plus I think you put Accept-Header where It should be Accept-Language.

await client.mandatePdfs.create(
  {
    account_number: "44779911",
    branch_code: "200000",
    country_code: "GB"
  },
  { customHeaders: { "Accept-Header": "fr" } }
);

Ahh, yes you're correct. Pretty careless mistake on my part, so apologies for that. I'll get this fixed up ASAP.

You're welcome! Thanks for the reactivity.
