Hi,


Odoo handles language translation through its built-in system. First, ensure the desired language, such as Tagalog, is installed in your Odoo database via Settings > Translations > Load a Translation. Odoo's website module typically includes a language selector that is automatically populated with the installed languages. When a user selects a language, Odoo stores this preference in the user's profile, and subsequent content is displayed in the selected language, assuming translations are available. For custom language selection processes, you may need to create a custom language selector using HTML and JavaScript to call an Odoo backend method that updates the user's language preference.


To translate website content, enable translation mode in Odoo by navigating to Website > Configuration > Settings and activating the "Translations" option. This allows you to directly click on text on the website and enter translations. For more complex elements or text within QWeb templates, you might need to edit the templates and use the t-translation directive to mark translatable text. Odoo uses .po files to store translations, which can be exported and imported. For large projects, consider using a dedicated translation platform. If the language requires right-to-left (RTL) layout, ensure your website theme supports RTL languages. Custom JavaScript code that displays text will also need its translations managed within the JavaScript files.


Hope it helps
