Product Texts Language Restriction

Control which languages each user can edit when translating product names, descriptions, and sales descriptions - keeping translations tidy in multilingual Odoo instances.

Odoo 19 Translation Control Community & Enterprise OPL-1

What does this module do?

Product Texts Language Restriction limits the languages available in the translation dialog when a user edits the Name, Description, or Sales Description of a product. Each user gets a personal list of permitted languages - only those languages appear in the translation pop-up.

This is especially useful in companies with dedicated translation teams: a Spanish translator only sees Spanish in the dialog, a French translator only sees French, and so on. Accidental overwrites of other language translations are prevented by design.

Product texts language restriction - demonstration

Per-user language filter

Each user has a configurable list of languages they are allowed to translate. Only those languages are shown in the product text translation dialog.

Covers key product text fields

The restriction applies to the product Name, Description, and Sales Description translation dialogs.

Bulk language assignment

Select multiple users in the Users list and update their permitted languages in one action using Edit product texts languages.

All languages by default

On installation, all active languages are automatically assigned to every user. Leaving a user's language list empty also grants access to all languages.

Access control

Only users in the Allows to modify the languages allowed in product texts group can change language restrictions for other users.

Community, Enterprise & Odoo.sh

Fully compatible with all Odoo deployment types - self-hosted Community, Enterprise, and Odoo.sh.

Translating product texts with language restriction

Once the module is installed and users are configured, the language filter is applied automatically in all product translation dialogs.

  1. Open a product and click the translation icon

    Go to Inventory > Products > Products (or any product list) and open a product form. Click the translation icon (flag or globe icon) next to the Name, Description, or Sales Description field to open the translation dialog.

  2. Only permitted languages are listed

    In the translation dialog, only the languages assigned to the current user appear as editable rows. Languages outside the user's permitted list are hidden, preventing accidental overwrites.

  3. Edit and save translations as usual

    Type the translated text for each permitted language and click Save. The workflow is identical to standard Odoo translations - only the available language rows differ.

Note: if a user's Product texts languages list is empty, all active languages are available - the restriction only applies when at least one language is explicitly assigned.

Module configuration

After installation, all active languages are automatically assigned to every user. Use the settings below to restrict which languages individual users or groups of users can edit.

Per-user language configuration

Go to Settings > Users & Companies > Users and open any user record. In the Preferences tab, find the Product texts languages field. Add or remove languages to define exactly which translation rows this user will see in product text dialogs.

Leaving the Product texts languages field empty gives the user access to all active languages - it is equivalent to assigning every language explicitly.

Bulk language assignment

To update permitted languages for multiple users at once, go to Settings > Users & Companies > Users, select the users you want to update using the checkboxes, then open the Action menu and choose Edit product texts languages. A dialog will appear where you can select the languages to assign to all selected users simultaneously.

The Edit product texts languages action replaces the existing language list for all selected users with the languages chosen in the dialog. Verify your selection before confirming.

Access control - who can manage language restrictions

The Product texts languages field on user forms and the Edit product texts languages bulk action are only available to users in the Allows to modify the languages allowed in product texts group. By default, only the Administrator belongs to this group.

To grant access to other users, go to Settings > Users & Companies > Groups, find the Allows to modify the languages allowed in product texts group, and add the relevant users.
