How to translate messages of models.py?

Question

I need to translate all messages in *models.py*

I've been looking for translations of this  file messages , but I realize that these messages are not include in any generated .po, I can't find it anywhere.

I'm missing something? What should I do besides overwrite this file and put all message in other language.

Thanks in advanced.

Regards

Hi,

First you need to do the following import in *models.py* file:

*from openerp.tools.translate import _*

Then to each messages or field labels which you want to translate, do the following:

for eg:

avg_price = fields.Float(compute='_compute_avg_price', string=*_(*'Avg price'*)*)

That means put the messages in *_('your message here')*

Then generate the .po file. You can see those messages and give corresponding translation texts.
