Adding a new language to the Odoo ERP

I want to add a new language to the Odoo openERP (installed on the local machine) which is not on the list of its languages. I changed the string in some .po files but it did not affect the translated view in the app. Any idea to change language easily by editing the .po file for other languages? for example changing the string of the fr.po to the desired one.

Solution

  • Here are the steps, I followed to add a new language (Sindhi) in odoo. After creating a language file (.po) follow these steps, make sure to replace language with whatever you want to add:

    Step 1 - Activate developer mode.

    Step 2 - From Settings --> Translations --> Import / Export, import translation file (.po) with Sindhi / سنڌي as Language Name, sn_PK as code

    Step 3 - After importing, you should see the Sindhi / سنڌي in settings --> Translations --> Languages.

    Step 4 - Now you can set your language from the user preference menu.
