Comment 2 for bug 780584

Hi!

For a customization, we need to find out in python code if a field is
set to be translatable.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/780584

The field translate exists in the database, but it's not used, NULL in
all databases on all fields here.

Reading ir.model.fields over OpenObject doesn't work either, compare
http://www.openerp.com/forum/topic24970.html
<http://www.openerp.com/forum/topic24970.html>.

I compared two dumps: dumped database (with pg_dump), changed one field
to translate=True, -u modulename, dumped again:
diff shows no indication of translate= being stored anywhere in the
database. Same effect on removal of translate=True.

In ir_model.py, create and write are customized, handling model_props
like translate somehow, but I can't figure out where translate is
stopped from going into the database properly.
As read is not customized, though, I think this might be the problem.
(Actually, I think write/create is the problem, was the field in the
database can easily be set)

This effects occurs at least in 6.0.2+ (regularly updated from
launchpad), I haven't tried it on trunk.

I asked about this in IRC on May 10th, and xrg prepared a short fix to
this problem:
