DeepL Translate for Odoo 19 — User Guide

1. Overview

The DeepL Translate module integrates DeepL's AI-powered translation directly into Odoo's built-in translation dialog.

Click "Translate with DeepL" on any translatable field — product names, descriptions, email templates, website content — and all installed languages fill in instantly with high-quality translations.

2. Installation

  1. Drop the sm_deepl_translate folder in your Odoo addons path.
  2. Restart Odoo and update the apps list.
  3. Install DeepL Translate from the Apps menu.

3. Configuration

Step 1 — Get a DeepL API Key

  1. Go to deepl.com/pro-api.
  2. Sign up for a Free plan (500,000 characters/month) or choose Pro for higher volume.
  3. Copy your API authentication key.

Step 2 — Configure in Odoo

  1. Go to Settings → DeepL Translate.
  2. Paste your API Key.
  3. Select API Type (Free or Pro).
  4. Click Test Connection to verify the key and usage limit.
  5. Click Save.

4. Usage

Translating a Field

  1. Navigate to any record with a translatable field (e.g. a product).
  2. Click the translate icon (globe) next to the field.
  3. The standard Odoo Translation Dialog opens.
  4. Click "Translate with DeepL" (blue button in the footer).
  5. All target languages fill in automatically.
  6. Review the translations, make any edits, and click Save.

Source Language

The module uses your current Odoo language as the source. If you are logged in as en_US, the English text will be sent to DeepL as the source. If no text exists for your language, the first non-empty translation is used instead.

When the translation dialog is in "show source" mode (e.g. for model fields), the original source text is sent to DeepL and the source language is auto-detected.

5. Language Mapping

Go to DeepL Translate → Language Mapping to view and manage the mapping between Odoo language codes and DeepL language codes.

The module ships with 32 pre-configured languages:

  • Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, German, Greek
  • English (US/UK), Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, French
  • Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean
  • Lithuanian, Latvian, Norwegian, Dutch, Polish
  • Portuguese (Brazil/Portugal), Romanian, Russian
  • Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian
  • Chinese (Simplified/Traditional)

You can add custom mappings for any additional language.

Formality

For each language, you can set a formality preference:

  • Default — DeepL decides
  • More formal — professional, polished tone
  • Less formal — casual, friendly tone
  • Prefer formal / Prefer informal — soft preference

Not all languages support formality. DeepL will ignore the setting for languages that don't support it (e.g. English, Chinese).

6. Usage Monitoring

Go to DeepL Translate → Translation History (admin only) to see a log of every translation request:

  • Date — when the translation happened
  • User — who triggered it
  • Model / Field — which record field was translated
  • Source / Target Language — language pair
  • Characters — number of characters sent to DeepL

Use the search filters and group-by options to analyze usage patterns.

7. Security

  • API key is stored securely in Odoo's ir.config_parameter system (accessible only to administrators).
  • All API calls go through the Odoo server — no client-side requests to DeepL. Your API key never reaches the browser.
  • Authentication: only logged-in Odoo users can trigger translations (the controller requires auth='user').
  • Access rights: language mappings are read-only for regular users; only administrators can modify them or view the usage log.

8. Compatibility

  • Tested on Odoo 19.0 Community & Enterprise.
  • No external Python dependencies — uses only the standard library (urllib, json).
  • Works with the default Odoo translation dialog on all translatable fields (Char, Text, Html).
