Question

I want to change the radio buttons name or rename "individual" and "company"  when I create a new contact or customer

This change cannot be from XML or Edit View. You will have to override the selection field in your custom module and change the label.
*Ex:*
company_type = fields.Selection(string='Company Type',
selection=[('person', 'My Personal'), ('company', 'My Company')],
In the code, you can see I have changed the label from "Individual" to "My Personal" and "Company" to "My Company" which will be reflected in the view.
Here is the original field definition [1] . You just need to change the label as I did

Thanks Sudhir
/base/models/res_partner.py
I changed everything and saved but it's not reflecting on the page still showing
# company_type is only an interface field, do not use it in business logic
company_type = fields.Selection (string = 'Company Type',
selection = [('person', 'Customer'), ('company', 'Company')],
compute = '_ compute_company_type', reverse = '_ write_company_type')
Updated modules/restarted the odoo and server
Should I create a new module or any other way?
Thanks for the help
