Hello,

i have a problem either with understand or with realising translations in OpenERP.

I would like to overwrite already translated fields in OpenERP.

For Example:

we have the field "Product Manager" in product object. For german it is already translated in de.po in the product module.

So i exported product from language section in Settings, find the right entry and copied it to my own de.po file from my own module.

But it doesn't work.

What is the right way to overwrite already translated fields?

Hi,

in Line : server/openerp/addons/base/ir/ir_translation.py,66

Here self._overwrite should be True in order to update existing translations.

-- self._overwrite = context.get('overwrite', False)
++ self._overwrite = context.get('overwrite', True)

Thank You.

the bug i've also seen, i don't know wether it is meant this way.. seems to be a bug in own translation for own fields..that once imported fields translations are not updated in second update

What is the aim of this branch??
