code translation odoov14

Christophe Bellanger

Hello
With a specific module, I modified the invitation email template for the calendar module. In an xml file in the Data directory, I put :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<odoo>
 <data noupdate="0">
 <record id="calendar.calendar_template_meeting_invitation" model="mail.template">
 <field name="name">Calendar: Meeting Invitation</field>
 <field name="model_id" ref="calendar.model_calendar_attendee"/>
    [...]
 <field name="body_html" type="html">
  [text in english]

However, I do not know how to modify the translations of this mail template. If I generate a translation file (po) on my specific module, I cannot find my modified template since it is declared on the calendar module. How can I modify the translations of this mail template from my specific module ?
Thank you

msgstr ""

You need to ADD your Translated String into the MSGSTR Section in the respective language PO file of your custom module. Example:- 

#. module: calendar
#: model:mail.template,
subject:calendar.calendar_template_meeting_reminder 
msgid "${object.event_id.name} - Reminder" 
msgstr "${object.event_id.name} - Rappel" 

you can take a reference from ODOO any Standard Module, above reference from Calendar module.
