How to overwrite Translations?

Asked by Maik Steinfeld

Hello,

i have a problem either with understand or with realising translations in OpenERP.

I would like to overwrite already translated fields in OpenERP.

For Example:

we have the field "Product Manager" in product object.
For german it is already translated in de.po in the product module.

So i exported product from language section in Settings, find the right entry and copied it to my own de.po file from my own module.

But it doesn't work.

What is the right way to overwrite already translated fields?

The bug #1166776 speaks about the same issue.

It is similary, but i think, that is not exactly the same. What this bug from comment #1 seems to speaking about that an own translation for a self created field is not updated?

My aim:

1) Create a own module to translate fields of another module
          For example i would like to change field "customer reference" field in sale.order form view
2) Export sale.order translation with the field of my choice
3) Copy these entry into my module's de.po file
4) Update my module in system and then load language in translation settings.
5) Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
