This module displays the product name in English near the products name in user's language.
Use case: The Product name is very important information at least if you buy products in a foreign country. It often occurs that in an odoo instance the product names don't match with their translations. This module can help to detect those translation errors.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Shows the English product name next to the product name in the user's own language on the product form, so translation mistakes are easy to spot.
This module adds a small line under the product title on the product form showing the product name in English. It is meant for companies that buy or sell abroad and want to check that product names are translated correctly.
- The English name is calculated automatically from the product's name in English (US); nothing has to be typed or saved by the user.
- If the user is already working in English (US), the extra line stays empty, because the name is already in English.
- The line is only visible to users who belong to the new "Show English name" group, which can be granted from the standard Odoo settings.
- It applies to the product template, so it appears on the main product form used for both goods and services.
No menus, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added. The module only extends the product form view and the product.template model with a computed english_name field.
