Hello Julien M,

You'll find the following entries in po files for a particular term to be translated.

#. module: base
#: model:res.country,name:base.sh
msgid "Saint Helena"
msgstr ""

The first #. module states that its a module in which the translation belongs too..

The second #: model/<name> this specifies the translation type which can be model,field,view etc. and also contains the name of the particular.

The third msgid " " will be the term to be translated we'll call it the source.

And finally the fourth one msgstr " " indicates the translation.

you can check the code for it in the tools/tranlate.py and you can also check the table ir_translations which create entries for all the translations when a particular language is installed along with the module being installed.

Thanks.
