Understanding the Odoo 16 Reconciliation Translate Not Working Issue

Odoo is a powerful open-source ERP platform that many businesses rely on for their operations. However, in the latest version, Odoo 16, some users have experienced issues with translations during reconciliation processes. Specifically, if you make the following changes to the res.partner model:

This error is frustrating—especially if similar code worked seamlessly in Odoo 14. Let's discuss how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem effectively.

The Cause Behind the Problem

When you set the name field (or related fields) of res.partner to be translate=True, it's crucial to note that this transformation changes the underlying field type to JSONB. Consequently, any direct SQL queries pulling data from this field will return a JSON object rather than a simple string. This mismatch leads to errors in JavaScript operations, resulting in TypeError messages like the one we've seen.

The Solution to Fix the Issue

To resolve the issue you're facing in Odoo 16, you'll need to implement some changes in your module specifically related to how the reconciliation widget handles retrieving partner names.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Create or Modify Your Odoo Module: Locate the module where you need to make the changes (or create a new one if necessary).

Inheritance of the Account Reconciliation Widget: You will create a new class that inherits from account.reconciliation.widget. The code structure would look like this:

What This Code Does:

It overrides the method that retrieves data for manual reconciliation.

It ensures that if the partner_name returns a dictionary (which it will when translations are applied), it extracts the correct translated string based on the current user’s language setting.

Testing Your Changes

After you implement this solution, the next step is to test it on your localhost. Open the reconciliation action to ensure that it now behaves as expected without any errors.

Conclusion

By following these steps to adjust how Odoo handles translations for partner fields, you can resolve the Odoo 16 reconciliation translate not working issue. If you comply with these changes, you should find that reconciliation functionality returns to normal, maintaining language support for your users.

Now, you can enjoy a more robust, multilingual environment in Odoo 16 without the hindrance of TypeErrors!
