Incorrect use of partner title and shortcut

[Ruud Riem-Vis]

When you define partner titles in "Partner->Configuration->Partner Titles", you can localize the title and give a shortcut to the partner title.
However, when you create an invoice, the title shortcut is used instead of the title itself. This creates a problem for localization as the shortcut is not localized.

It seems to me that the correct approach would be to use the localized partner title in all reports

The implementation in base/res/partner/partner.py shows indeed that the shortcut is preferred in the method _partner_title_get.
As the shortcut is a mandatory field, it will always use the shortcut.

By the way, the same reasoning holds for the _contact_title_get method.

That seems much better as this solves the localization issue. It also
avoids changes elsewhere. The shortcut should only be used internally
(non localized).
Thanks

We need a global solution here.
Better to go for browse() related changes.

It has been fixed in trunk.
Thanks.

The title field has been set to be Many2one.
Thanks.
