[Launchpad Bug Tracker <400256@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Numérigraphe (numerigraphe):

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.
