Hi everyone,

I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to change the label of the "View Invoice" button that appears in the standard email sent to customers when an invoice is sent. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any way to customize or translate this button text – neither through email templates, translation files, nor via CSV import.

The name for invoice seems very odd in Switzerland. No one is using the term "Ausgangsrechung" on customer invoices.

The Odoo support team (thanks again to Kevin and Patrick!) looked deeply into this and even they couldn’t find a working solution. It seems that the button label is generated by the backend and hardcoded, at least for the account model. Oddly enough, the same button can be customized in other modules like Helpdesk.

This is quite a frustrating limitation for a product that’s otherwise so customizable, especially when localized language is key for a good customer experience (e.g., in Switzerland, the default term doesn’t feel appropriate).

My questions:

• Has anyone successfully changed this button label for invoices?
• Is there a workaround via translating views, template overrides, importing translations or any other way?
• Could Odoo consider making this translatable/customizable in future versions?

Any insights, hacks or confirmations welcome! 😊

Thanks in advance,

Simon
