Hi there,


I have a situation. The way a client set up their Chart of Accounts is basically by taking one account record, duplicating it, and changing the values.


Maybe not the best way but they made one mistake: when Odoo duplicates a record, they automatically set the name to the previous name + "(copy)". The client then proceeded to instantly change the translations, before changing the actual name field. So, what happened is that Odoo created translation records with internal source "previous name (copy)", and translation values for the actual new name.


This went unnoticed at first, until we got a situation in "Aged Payable/Receivable", where Odoo takes the account name without any language context. And so, it just showed the "previous name (copy)" value instead of what should be the new account name.


Now I'm trying to correct this, but I'm unable to change the actual internal name that Odoo has without any language context. Any idea on how to go about doing this?


Thanks in advance, if anything needs clearing up I'm happy to provide.

Hi Jort, I just got the same error today and this is what I did. I went to translations in the settings module, then searched for the word copy and I got all the wrong names. I erased that and problem solved. Hope this works for you.
