This issue, in my understanding, is a bug:
In following simple scenarios it turn out that two paths to the same installation have different turn outs:
- clean install (1: In native english, no translations; 2: in some language i. e. DE_de translations)
- install mrp (as an example) in both scanarios
- install native translation DE_de in scenario 1 (english install)
This should turn out the same, but several menus are not, but most are translated properly. Where does the diffent behaviour come from?
From this aspect it can be assumed that a complete and correctly translated installation can only be acchieved in native english - so the user installing a module or in other cases exporting data (compatible export) for reimport MUST switch to native english at least before importing data (productive data as well as translations).
By means of switching the language the "translation-bug" can be circumvented. But what if i.e. some user is not capable of using the english language? Rare but might happen. OpenERP is intended for international use but certaily fails in this respect to be used purely in a foreign language...
