Re: Translation in Odoo and OCA
by
mathieu
Hi,
I am currently trying to automate translation of my website data by using gengo module, but unsuccessfully.
Are some of you already doing this ?
- as soon as data is created from a user (blog, event, product)
- trigger translation for all active languages
or trigger automated translation of all not-yet-translated values by a job nightly.
Which tool do you use ? Gengo or other ?

I work on translations in other project, rarely in Odoo. Something missing in Odoo Transifex is translator's background on french language and open discussion. Users should also be implied (specially women), as it looks like tranlations are quickly made by Odoo experts rather than «poorly trained in Odoo» users. --- Librement, Xavier Brochard xavier@alternatif.org La liberté est à l'homme ce que les ailes sont à l'oiseau (Jean-Pierre Rosnay) Le 22.07.2021 12:27, Alexis de Lattre a écrit : > Dear OCA friends, > > I'm about to start an initiative to improve the French translation of > Odoo v14 (official and OCA modules), which is currently very poor > compared to other languages before the release of v15.
