What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
It translates fields, not documents.
A report prints the translation that exists; writing it is still someone's job.
Search follows the active language.
Searching in English finds the English value - which is Odoo's behaviour for every translatable field.
It does not transliterate.
No automatic conversion between scripts; the values are entered.
