Hello Joey Many thanks for answering my question. It is mtcexeedee. Two years ago, as far as I know there was no alternative, so I bought a license. Is the Advanced Twig Templates now a real alternative? Then I’m happy to switch to that one. Kind regards Christian ---

It’s different plugin, they both have 100% different purpose. Twig Templates Plugin will help you with creating tokens you can use, Advanced Twig templates will let you use Twig code in DWC and emails. ---

Thanks Joey I don’t get the second idea on how to benefit from Twig Code in emails, right now. I have to search the web for some examples. Or do you have a hint? Twig Template Plugin I am using already. Is there a way of coping with the German addressing different clients e.g. Du/Sie with Twig templates as well? With Twig Template Plugin, I have to write the whole text twice, one time with Du and a second time with Sie, in order to get the wished result. ---

Hey, > **[Mautic and the Beauty of the Deutsche Sprache – Joey Keller](https://joeykeller.com/mautic-and-the-beauty-of-the-deutsche-sprache/)** Here is my German Begrüssung code: ```auto {% if contact.title %} {% if contact.title == "Frau" %} {% if contact.du_sie == "Du" %}

Liebe {{contact.title}} {{contact.lastname}}

{% endif %} {% if contact.du_sie == "Sie" %}

Sehr geehrte {{contact.title}} {{contact.lastname}}

{% endif %} {% endif %} {% if contact.title == "Herr" %} {% if contact.du_sie == "Du" %}

Lieber {{contact.title}} {{contact.lastname}}

{% endif %} {% if contact.du_sie == "Sie" %}

Sehr geehrter {{contact.title}} {{contact.lastname}}

{% endif %} {% endif %} {% endif %} ``` in du\_sie I’m saving if it’s the pollite form, in title I’m saving Herr / Frau. ---

Many thanks, I know your video very well. And I’m using similar code in Twig Template Plugin. More complicated it gets when in the email body there are sentences like: “Damit kannst Du schöne Templates bauen.” Then we need the distinction again: “Damit können Sie schöne Templates bauen.” And the longer the email is, the more double content I have to insert. Here it would be great to have constants for “Du, Sie, Ihnen, Ihres, meins, deins, etc.” Then I could fill the constants based on the condition. ---
