A common request is to being able to handle the country code from Active Directory accordingly. When the country field is pulled out, it is just left with the international country code (based on ISO-3166), which is useless to put into the signature.

Example:
Quote:
Kind regards

John Doe
Manager

ProfCom Corporation GmBH
Berlin
DE


Instead of 'DE' we would have written "Germany" in the English version and "Deutschland" in the German local signature like this:

Quote:
Kind regards

John Doe
Manager

ProfCom Corporation GmBH
Berlin
Germany (or 'Deutschland', respectively)


However AD does only return the country code, so we need to react on this. The template would look like:

Code:
Kind regards

((First_name)) ((Last_name))
((Ttle))

((Company))
((city))
{$$COUNTRY('((Country/Region))')$$LANGUAGE('GB')$$}


In the above example we wanted to write "Germany" in the English signature and "Deutschland" in the German signature.
To write "Deutschland" (German for 'Germany') we replace the GB code with the German code 'DE':

Code:
{$$COUNTRY('((Country/Region))')$$LANGUAGE('DE')$$}
