Account Chart Update Multilang
This module extends the functionality of account_chart_update so that if taxes or fiscal position templates have translated fields, they are passed to the final taxes or fiscal positions when applying the chart of accounts.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Extends the chart of accounts update wizard so that translations of taxes and fiscal positions from templates are also copied to the real records when applying the update.
This module works together with the chart of accounts update wizard. When you use that wizard to apply tax and fiscal position templates to your company, this module makes sure that the translated names and descriptions of those templates are carried over to the final taxes and fiscal positions.
- It adds a language field to the update wizard, but that field is hidden from the screen, so you do not have to configure anything manually.
- When the wizard compares a template with the existing record, it now also compares the translated values in other languages, not just the main language.
- When the update is applied, the translations found in the template are written onto the real tax and fiscal position records.
- It only handles fields that are marked as translatable, such as names and descriptions.
- It relies on the standard chart of accounts update process and the multilingual localisation features already present in Odoo.
Because it is set to install automatically, it activates as soon as both required modules are present. The visible result is that after updating your chart of accounts, taxes and fiscal positions keep the translations defined in their templates, instead of only the main language.
