Translation Settings
If an organization is functional internationally and is run under different regions
and employees are working from different parts of the world. Moreover, in regards
to the website, they will also be used and viewed by many people from all parts
of the world. Therefore, the business management solution and operations should
be translated based on the choice of the view, this is where the Translation settings
of the Odoo platform are complex into play. Here based on the localization feature
of the Odoo platform you can configure in which language the platform should operate.
In Odoo all the languages which have a written format as well as alphabets are being
described which can be configured with ease.
The translation feature which is available in Odoo will help its users to view the

sales as well as purchase quotations, and many more. Odoo supports the operations
of the Sequence Numbers which will pave the way for the effective management of
all the important documents in the operations of the business. These Sequence Numbers

help the users of the Odoo platform to understand the operation of a respective
document concerning the Sequence Number being defined. In addition, these will serve
as the identification tool in respect to each of the documents where various parties
of operations, the users of Odoo, Customers, vendors, and many will be participating
and collaborating towards the business operations.
Additionally, you have the provision to modify the Sequence Number operations based
on your functional need in the operations of your business. These provisions of
