Product Category Name Translatable
This module allows you to translate product category names.
The feature of translating the product category name was removed from Odoo core due to limitations on the complete name compute when the name is translatable: https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/36717.
To solve it, a setting is available to choose the language you want to use for displaying the complete name of product categories in the system.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you translate product category names and choose which language is used to build the full category path shown in Odoo.
Product category names can be translated again, and you decide which language Odoo uses when it builds the full category name (the path that includes parent categories).
Where it appears:
- In Settings, under the Product settings, a new "Product Category Translations" block adds the field "Product Category Complete Name Language".
- The category name field on product.category becomes translatable, so you can enter a different name per language.
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - The chosen language is required and is stored as a system setting. - When you save the settings and the language has changed, Odoo recalculates the full name of every product category so the displayed paths follow the new language. - The full name is computed from the category name and the parent category's full name, using the selected language.
Areas touched:
- Product categories (product.category), including their complete name.
- General settings (res.config.settings) and the list of languages (res.lang).
This restores a feature that was removed from standard Odoo because of limitations with translatable names, by letting you pick one language for the complete name.
