PO files are normally supposed to only contain translations for the module they belong too. It's technically possible to mix translations for different modules but you might get unexpected results, depending on your module dependencies: - If your module's en_AU.po contains translations for website_sale, they won't be loaded automatically if you install `website_sale` *after* your module. You need to make your module depend on `website_sale`. - The automatic PO loading system imports translation in 'normal' mode, so it won't override translations that already exist (even in other modules). This is done for 2 reasons: 1. When installing a module, no translations are supposed to exist for it yet (which is why 1 PO = 1 module only, normally) 2. PO files are re-imported at module update, and we can't overwrite translations that the users may have edited. If you want to forcefully overwrite existing translations you need the "Overwrite existing terms" option, available either in the "Import Translation" wizard (for a specific PO file), or when you use the "Load translation" wizard for a language. You need a user with technical features enabled for both cases. You can "Load a translation" for the same language multiple times, but it will overwrite translations for *all modules* at once. Watch out, "Load a translation" will load translations in the natural order of the modules, not in the dependency order, so your translations for `website_sale` are likely to be overwritten by those of `website_sale` itself. In that case just increase the 'sequence' in your module's manifest to a value that is greater than that of website_sale's (55). You can watch the logs to see in which order the PO files are loaded.
