Test I18N server

This is a test server for the development of the downloadable languages pack.

Use for demonstration purpose only, not for production !

Technical Changes

The /i18n/ folder is not used anymore when loading translations. The translations comes from a translation pack downloaded on a translation server (like this one).

Downloaded translations files are saved on the ir.module.module records (i.e. to refresh the packs once per day).

Add a new module i18n_server to allow people to easily create their own translation servers (and give an option for maintenace if/once we retire old versions).

See odoo/odoo#30759 for the code.

For Odoo SA Developers

Translations are downloaded from “https://nightly.odoo.com” by default (or any i18n.default.server value)

• Keep only a i18n/<module>.pot file in developed module

For Integrator

Translations for custom modules are served from the integrator server

• Deploy only a i18n/<module>.pot file in custom module
• Serve translation pack at https://<mywebsite>/i18n/<version>/<lang>.tar.xz
• Add i18n_location: "https://<mywebsite>/" inside the <module>/__manifest__.py file
• Can optionnaly set a i18n.default.server value to bypass Odoo SA’s nightly servers

For Independant Developer

The user’s server becomes a translation server and will fetch translations locally for these modules

• Publish all translations and .pot inside i18n/ folder
• Add "depends": ["i18n_server"] and i18n_locally": True inside the <module>/__manifest__.py file
