Instead of the invoice being solely in the language of the customer, I need the words like name and description in both English and customer's language or what the slaesperson decides to add. Is there a setting that lets me do that or do I have to edit the invoice template manually. If I've to edit the template, where can I find the file?

There is no such setting. You will have to extend the invoice report for that purpose. You'll find the reports at "Settings/Technical/Reporting/Reporting" (activate the developer mode).

If you only want the field labels (not the field contents) be displayed in 2 languages, you could use the QWeb translation feature for that purpose. Create a translation for any required combination of languages.

That's unfortunate. Thanks for the direction.

I opened the account.invoice.form's edit interface... but how I do I add labels in other language? The string='something'? I don't think so...

Ermin Trevisan

Depending on your requirements (your description is more than vague), you'll need an experienced Odoo/QWeb developer or the necessary knowledge to do it yourself.

I only want the labels like item name, description, price, total, etc displayed/printed in two languages side by side.

Ermin Trevisan

See my amended answer.

Ah, I figured that as well. Another set of rote manual work, what a pain. I do wonder why this isn't a proper feature though, and why you need to create an entire customer entry to produce invoice and bills.

Ermin Trevisan

I live in a country with 4 offical languages and to me this seems rather an unusual requirement nevertheless.

Kito Midtah

Well, my perspective is a little different in that I've seen pen and paper invoices most where the labels are printed in both languages. Then again, it's not exactly my own requirement, just my friend's shop who wants to use Odoo now that tax has been implemented for the first time in the country represented by this flag.
