Hi everyone,

I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to change the label of the "View Invoice" button that appears in the standard email sent to customers when an invoice is sent. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any way to customize or translate this button text – neither through email templates, translation files, nor via CSV import.

The name for invoice seems very odd in Switzerland. No one is using the term "Ausgangsrechung" on customer invoices.

The Odoo support team (thanks again to Kevin and Patrick!) looked deeply into this and even they couldn’t find a working solution. It seems that the button label is generated by the backend and hardcoded, at least for the account model. Oddly enough, the same button can be customized in other modules like Helpdesk.

This is quite a frustrating limitation for a product that’s otherwise so customizable, especially when localized language is key for a good customer experience (e.g., in Switzerland, the default term doesn’t feel appropriate).

My questions:

  • Has anyone successfully changed this button label for invoices?
  • Is there a workaround via translating views, template overrides, importing translations or any other way?
  • Could Odoo consider making this translatable/customizable in future versions?

Any insights, hacks or confirmations welcome! 😊

Thanks in advance,

Simon

wow, thanks a lot for your quick reply! Yes, this is indeed quite a hacky way :-) But glad to see it could work!

Would you mind telling a little bit more of how this could be done? And Is there not a way where I could just translate the word "Ausgangsrechnung"? Do you have any idea where this word is even coming from? (i mean from an odoo software point of view)

It is possible to join the Translation Project. Accepted changes are made available the following week.

All Online and SH databases are automatically updated with the new terms and On Premise databases can pull the new terms as needed.

ah interesting, thanks! What if this translation would not be accepted for Switzerland by any reason? Is it possible to connect to my own fork of a translation there with odoo online version?

A hack you say? Here you go:

Template to change: mail.mail_notification_layout

Line 30, instead of

<t t-out="button_access['title']"/>

put


<t t-if="record and record._name == 'account.move' and record.move_type == 'out_invoice'">put some other label than "Ausgangsrechnung" here</t>
<t t-else="" t-out="button_access['title']"/>



Now, I would NOT suggest to do this that way...


What you actually want is to inherit above mentioned template in your module, and potentially extending _notify_by_email_prepare_rendering_context() from mail.thread.
