[7.0] Translation synchronize terms ignore translations from code

[Yves Hoyos]

Hi,

I just write a new module, and I tried to translate it, but some terms were missing.
So I use the "Synchronize terms" and "Export translation" to generate new PO files, but they were still missing.
I looked in the translated terms (in the database), but the were not there.

The missing terms went from Python code (with tools.translate_("text") function).
Maybe it's because I have my personnal modules in an external folder, linked to OpenERP by setting the addons_path in the config file.

So, I had to manually edit the PO file and add the location of the source code in the comment. Then I update my module and now it's ok.

Could'd you please check the synchronize function to find terms from python code in a different folder that addons?

Thanks

Maybe this bug is a duplicate of #1166776

I think this is not a duplicate.

I put an example module: phonecall_suggest_salesman.

Now clone the repo, update to revision 59, install the module, and export the translation. You will notice that string at line 41 of [1] is not translated.

Lines 23 to 27 for Spanish translation [2] had to be added manually, and had no effect on the GUI, even when they were installed to the database.
