Thanks, Christophe for the comment.

Somethings has to be done. This patch should be revisited by OpenERP's Team to be usefull for international.

Olivier: no
2 scenarios lived as examples:

 1.
An employee has to create many products.
He creates twice the same (or nearly).
When he sees his error, overwrites the name.
The translation has changed, but not product_template.name.
He cannot understand to see it anytime without SEEING the reason.

2.
The employees has created the good product, but in use, sees that his product name is too large and not productive for any report (labels, reports, tags...)
He decides to overwrite it in a shorter way.
Any request containing a part of the ancient name will return this product as long as this product exists.

He trys to avoid this by duplicating the product, thinking that restarting from zero will avoid the error. But the error is duplicated too !

In most cases, societies don't need internationalization, and modifying a traduction is not instinctive for them.
