There are currently translation issues related to the chart template.
Due to this the names of some records do not receive the necessary
/ intended translations when installing a localization or new language.
When installing a new localization / chart some records have the following
problem with the values of their translatabe fields:
They are only installed in the language that was active when the localization / chart was installed.
Thus when switching languages (or using a different user with a different language)
the names are displayed in the "installation language".
Translations for all active languages should be installed (for all relevant records).
The same problem happens when installing a new language
(the same records do not receive a translation for the new language).
The translation issue concerns for example (some) accounts and journals;
see the (incomplete) list at the end of this message.
This commit tries to fix the translation issue for the translatable
fields of all relevant models.
Note!
=====
* The translation mechanism only works for records with xmlid.
If a module creates a record without xmlid it will not be translated.
* The problem is only fixed for records with xmlid for which at least 1 of the
following conditions holds:
* The record (and the translatable field value) is defined in
the body of the function decorated with '@template'
* The translation of the value of the translatable field can
be found in the module 'account' or in the module that
is associated with the record (by 'ir.model.data')
I.e. the problem is not solved for demo data: It is technically
difficult to determine the module they originate from.
This makes it difficult to load the right code translation (the
module information is needed for this).
* The translation mechanism is not necessarily triggered
if the record is (in principal) part of the chart template
but not installed as part of the chart template.
This can i.e. happen if a module is installed after the
localization / chart.
* Example: account.journal "Salaries" from hr_payroll_account
* We also want to "translate" / localize some untranslatable fields
(like account journal codes). For these fields the terms will be
installed in the language of the partner of the company for which
the chart will be installed (fallback to lang / user lang from the
env in case there is none set).
* Currently there is no language set for many (all?) demo comany.
Thus the values will remain in English for them (when the
respective module is installed).
Examples / Details
==================
**Reproduce**:
1. Switch to the French language (install if needed)
(Settings App > General Settings > Languages)
2. Install a localisation (e.g. l10n_fr).
3. Check the French translations of the localization
* Comptabilité > Configuration (Menu) > Journaux
(Accounting > Configuration (Menu) > Journals)
* Here the journal names are in French
* Comptabilité > Configuration (Menu) > Plan comptable
(Accounting > Configuration (Menu) > Chart of Accounts)
* All the account names are in French
4. Switch to English on the current user (or some other language)
via the user profile on the top right.
5. Check the names of the localization again
* Accounting
* The journal names are still in French
* Accounting > Configuration (Menu) > Chart of Accounts
* Some of the account names are still in French
* E.g. "Compte d'attente de la banque" ("Bank Suspense Account")
Other things to test:
* "Salaries" journal from enterprise module 'hr_payroll_account'
* Not demo data; it will (partly) work after this commit (see "Note" above)
* "IFRS Automatic transfers" journal from enterprise module
'account_auto_transfer' (installed when installing l10n_fr)
* Demo data; the problem remains after this commit
**Technically** the main problems are the following:
1. The information of some of the created records is only defined in
the code. Thus their translations have to be taken from the
translation of the code.
But at the point of translation it is not clear from which
module the data came from. This is needed to load the right translation.
* This was fixed for data from '@template' functions
2. Some records are created without an xmlid and thus
cannot be translated with the current translation mechanism at all.
* This was fixed for the relevant records from module 'account'
Example Records
---------------
Some affected **accounts**:
* from module 'account'
* Bank utility accounts
* Bank Suspense Account
* Outstanding Receipts
* Outstanding Payments
* Cash Discount Loss
* Cash Discount Gain
* Cash Difference Loss
* Cash Difference Gain
* Liquidity Transfer
* Bank / Cash journal default accounts
* Bank
* Cash
* Unaffected earnings account
* Undistributed Profits/Losses
Some affected **journals**
* from module 'account'
* Customer Invoices
* Vendor Bills
* Miscellaneuos Operations
* Exchange Difference
* Cash Basis Taxes
* Bank
* Cash
* from module 'account_auto_transfer' (enterprise)
* IFRS Automatic Transfers
* The problem will remain since it is demo data
* from module 'hr_payroll_account' (enterprise)
* Salaries
* The translation is only loaded if the module is installed
before the localization / chart
