[Bug 1073196] [NEW] translating a field takes a lot of work in 7.0

 

Public bug reported:

I tried to modify both the English and the Dutch translations for a
product.

In OpenERP 6.1 when I click on the translation flag  next to the product
name, I am presented with a popup screen where I can enter all
translations for the selected row (rather than just for product name
field, as I would expect).

If I load another language I can view and change all languages at the
same time.

Clicking on the same flag in OpenERP trunk (soon to be 7.0)  I get to a
kind of list screen. After some trying I did succeed in changing the
dutch name. I have no opportunity to change the English name in this
screen.  There is a button New (or Nieuw in Dutch) which has no usefull
purpose.

The list screen in OpenERP 7.0 shows automatically a row for each
language loaded in the system. You can ONLY change the translation here.

If you want to change the English text AND the translations:
- login as a user configured to use us_EN
- Change a translatable field (for instance product name) just as any other field, to change the English translation
- Save the record
- Reopen the record again in Edit mode
- Now click on the flag to change all translations (if you click on the flag immediately after changing the English text, you will get a warning that your change will be lost).

All this is rather round about and tortuous....
