Odoo 18 Studio comes packed with powerful tools that enhance development flexibility, UI customization, and collaboration, all within a friendly, no-code interface. Let’s explore each feature:
Translation Manager
Odoo 18 makes it easier than ever to maintain multilingual applications. With the Translation Manager in Studio, you can:
- Instantly translate field labels, help texts, and UI elements.
- Use inline editing in multiple languages.
- Track untranslated strings and fill gaps directly in the interface.
This ensures your custom modules are fully localized for international teams or customers.
Access Rights & Record Rules
Studio empowers you to control access at a granular level:
- Access Rights: Grant or restrict Create/Read/Write/Delete permissions per model or module.
- Record Rules:Define domain-based visibility rules to ensure users see only what they need.
These settings are integrated with Odoo’s core access control system. You can tweak them within Studio or via existing groups, giving you full control over who sees and edits what.
Inherited Odoo Features
Studio seamlessly builds on Odoo’s existing features:
- Pull in built-in components like chatter, calendar, tags, and pipeline stages.
- Modify and extend these components, without overwriting original code.
- Benefit from auto-generated XML inheritance trees (via Odoo’s ir.ui.view) to preserve your changes during updates

- Sharing module descriptions,
- Adding usage instructions,
- Collaborating on design ideas and notes.
