Assigning to you, Lionel, as you seem to wish to keep working on this. No guarantee that will we accept any such patch at any point though.
If anything, you must absolutely try to:
- keep it simple (KISS)
- keep international usage in mind and avoid special cases for some locales

Default language for "model" values hardcoded as 'en_US' should be configurable

Status in OpenObject Server: In Progress

Bug description:
In the current v5.0, the default language for data strings in objects is hardcoded to be 'en_US' in the server code.

This complicates usage when the main language in the company is not English.
For example even in a company where all the business is done in French, you cannot change (and correct!) the value of a translatable field in the table, because the new value will be written to ir_translation instead when you don't use en_US.

This is particularly disturbing in companies where English is not used at all.

We should be able to change the default language from en_US to the locale of our choice, preferably at database creation time, or else in the server config file or command-line.

This is only for data strings input by users ("model" values in ir_translate), and the default language for field names, help texts and other stuff must remain en_US.
