odoo-i18n

odoo-i18n is a skill for Claude Code from ahmed-lakosha/odoo-plugins. It costs 645 tokens per session (4,509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Odoo translation toolkit for finding text that should be translated, checking translation files, and preparing multilingual Odoo modules. Odoo is business software, and i18n means adapting it to different languages and regions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract text into .pot and .po translation files, validate those files, create translation reports, handle Arabic and other right-to-left layouts, and prepare multilingual deployments.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missing translations and formatting mistakes that can make translated screens or right-to-left languages display incorrectly. It also checks rules that differ between Odoo versions 14 through 19.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

odoo-i18n scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/_common.py, scripts/i18n_converter.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 442 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Odoo i18n Skill

Provides deep expertise in Odoo internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) across Odoo 14-19.

Critical Translation Rules

  1. NEVER use f-strings inside _() -- use % formatting: _('Record %s') % name
  2. NEVER concatenate strings inside _() -- give the translator the full sentence
  3. Use _lt() for class-level strings (selection values, class attributes)
  4. NEVER wrap string= field attributes in _() -- they are auto-translated by Odoo
  5. Save .po files as UTF-8 without BOM
  6. Arabic .po files must have nplurals=6 in Plural-Forms header
  7. Always update the module after editing .po files: -u module --stop-after-init

Workflow 1: Extract Translatable Strings

Scans an Odoo module for all translatable strings and generates .pot (template) and .po (language) files.

Usage

python ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/odoo-i18n/scripts/i18n_extractor.py --module <path> --lang <code> [--output <dir>] [--no-pot] [--verbose]
Argument Required Description
--module Yes Path to the Odoo module directory
--lang Yes Target language code (e.g., ar, fr, tr)
--output No Custom output directory (default: module/i18n/)
--no-pot No Skip generating .pot template
--verbose No Show all extracted strings

What Gets Extracted

Python (*.py) -- _('...') and _lt('...'):

# Extracted:
raise UserError(_('Record %s not found') % name)
state = fields.Selection([('draft', _lt('Draft'))])
# NOT extracted: _(variable), _(f'Hello {name}')

XML (*.xml) -- string=, help=, placeholder= attributes; name= on menus/actions; HTML text:

<field name="state" string="Status"/>      <!-- extracted -->
<h1>Welcome to our website</h1>            <!-- extracted -->
<record id="view_my_form" model="ir.ui.view">  <!-- NOT extracted -->

JavaScript (*.js) -- _t('...') and _lt('...'):

const msg = _t("Save Changes");   // extracted
const msg = _t(someVariable);     // NOT extracted

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
