Description
Odoo Bridge for Opencart Multi Language Extension is an Opencart module that syncs translations between an Opencart store and Odoo. The module works as an Opencart Odoo translation sync layer for catalogs sold in more than one language.
An admin maps each language once on both platforms, then the module exports translations for products, categories, and attributes. That single export replaces typing the same product content twice, once in Opencart and again in Odoo.
Every export carries the product text over in the mapped language. Shoppers then see matching names and descriptions in Opencart and Odoo. Admins pick how the sync runs, choosing a single Opencart-to-Odoo export, one product from Odoo, or a full bulk export.
The module itself runs only as an add-on to the base connector module. That base module reads and writes the Opencart and Odoo data. It ships as version 1.5 under a single-application license, supporting Opencart 3.x.x.x with either Odoo 13.x or Odoo 14.x.
Additionally, if you want the base framework that links your Opencart store to Odoo, then check Opencart Odoo Connector.
Highlighted Features of Odoo Bridge for Opencart Multi Language Extension
Bidirectional Translation Sync
Move product translations from Opencart to Odoo, or from Odoo back to Opencart, whenever admins need them updated. Either side can stay the source of truth for that particular run.
Product & Category Translation
Export and update translated names and descriptions for both products and their categories. Categories also carry translated names through Odoo V12, though not in newer Odoo releases.
Attribute & Option Translation
Carry Attribute and Attribute Option text over in the same export that moves the product, so variant labels stay translated too.
Two-Sided Language Mapping
Set up matching language pairs from the Opencart admin and separately from the Odoo admin, once, before any export runs.
Individual Product Sync
Push one product's translation from Odoo to Opencart straight from that product's own Action menu. The rest of the catalog stays untouched during that single push.
One-Click Bulk Sync
Synchronize the translations of every product from Odoo to Opencart in a single run. That single run replaces repeating the same export for every product.
Why Do We Need Odoo Bridge for Opencart Multi Language Extension?
Odoo Bridge for Opencart Multi Language Extension solves a gap left by the base Opencart Odoo Connector. That base connector already moves products and stock between the platforms. It does not carry translated product text along with them, though.
Without this bridge, a store team managing several languages must re-enter the same product name and description in both systems.
The same re-entry applies to attribute and option text as well. It costs real time on every product update across every language the store supports.
Skipping this step also risks the Opencart storefront and the Odoo backend drifting apart. One language can drift out of sync while another stays correct.
The module removes that manual step by reusing one shared language mapping for every export that follows. It exports translations through the same mapping an admin set up once. That mapping covers the Opencart side and the Odoo side alike.
One practical detail worth knowing: category name translation only carries through Odoo V12. The category name field in Odoo V13 and later is no longer translatable. That one field stops moving between the two systems as a result.

Use Cases

Language Mapping at the Opencart End
Language Mapping at the Opencart end links each Opencart language to its matching Odoo language. That pairing has to exist before any translation can be exported.
- Open the Opencart admin panel and navigate to the Odoo Mapping menu in the sidebar.
- Select Language from that menu to open the language mapping screen.
- Pair each installed Opencart language with its matching language inside Odoo.
- Save the mapping so every later export knows which language goes where.
Language Mapping at the Odoo End
Exports started from either platform read from that one shared mapping. That mapping only needs to be entered correctly one single time.
- Open the Odoo backend and go to the Ecomm Odoo Bridge menu.
- Select Mapping, then Language Mapping, to open the matching screen on the Odoo side.
- Review or add the language pairs so they match the Opencart side exactly.
- Save the mapping before running any product translation export in either direction.
Product Translation Export from Opencart to Odoo
Product Translation Export from Opencart to Odoo sends translated product text from Opencart over to Odoo in one action. It suits teams that manage most product content inside Opencart first, before Odoo gets involved.
- Go to the Odoo Mapping menu in the Opencart admin panel.
- Select Language Mapping from that menu to open the export screen.
- Click the Export Translation (Product) button to start the export run.
- Odoo receives the translated product text for every language that was mapped.
Individual Product Translation Sync from Odoo to Opencart
Individual Product Translation Sync pushes one product's translated text from Odoo to Opencart as soon as it is edited.
- Open the product record inside the Odoo product catalog view.
- Click the Action button, then select Synchronise to Ecommerce from the list.
- Tick the Translation Synchronization option inside the pop-up window that opens.
- Click Synchronize Now to send that product and its translation over to Opencart.
Bulk Product Translation Sync from Odoo to Opencart
Bulk Product Translation Sync exports the translations of every product from Odoo to Opencart in a single run. This replaces syncing large catalogs one product at a time instead of all at once.
- Open the Ecomm Odoo Bridge menu from inside the Odoo backend.
- Select Bulk Synchronization from the list of available options there.
- Click the Synchronize Products button to start the bulk export run.
- Every product then syncs to Opencart along with its mapped-language translations.
