In Odoo Website, What is the primary difference between the main language and other languages in Odoo's translation management?
A. The main language is used for backend operations, while other languages are for frontend display.
B. The main language allows full editing capabilities, while other languages are restricted to translation only.
C. The main language is automatically translated by Odoo, while other languages require manual input.
Answer:
B. The main language allows full editing capabilities, while other languages are restricted to translation only.
Explanation:
In the Odoo Website module, the main language acts as the base (source) language where all website content such as pages, menus and text is originally created and fully editable.
Other languages are not independent content creators; instead, they work using Odoo’s translation system, where users can only translate the existing content from the main language.
So, the key difference is:
Main language → create, edit, control content
Other languages → only translate and display content
