Partner Multilingual
Contact names and addresses in more than one language
Make the partner's name, street and city translatable, so an invoice in English and a delivery note in the local script both read correctly - from the same contact.
Partner Multilingual (technical name to_partner_multilang) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for export sales, accounting, logistics.
At a Glance
The facts of Partner Multilingual, version 1.0.2, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
Two screens, and the duplicate contact disappears.
Translate the contact itself
The name and address carry a translation per language, edited from the same little globe icon Odoo uses everywhere else.
One list, one customer
The contact list shows the language you are working in, while the documents print in the language they are addressed in.
What You Get
Name, street, street2, city and complete name become translatable fields
One contact record whatever the language - no duplicate for the local script
Documents render in the recipient's language, using the translation stored on the contact
Uses Odoo's own translation mechanism, so the values live where translations live

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.
A report prints the translation that exists; writing it is still someone's job.
Searching in English finds the English value - which is Odoo's behaviour for every translatable field.
No automatic conversion between scripts; the values are entered.
