Comment 7 for bug 400702

Hello,

I had a discussion with Fabien about this topic in order to clarify things for everyone and keep consistancy in Open ERP. He's opinion is to keep:

EN: UoM = Unit of measure / FR: UdM = Unité de mesure
EN: UoS = Unit of sale / FR: US = Unité secondaire

On the product form, you'll see that all fields concerning UoS are grouped under the title "Second UoM", means "Unité de mesure secondaire".

So, even though in english version we talk about "Unit of sale", you have to think in terms of "Unit of measure" (by default), and "Second unit of measure" (for companies that used to manage different CATEGORIES of units for a same product, for example Pieces and Kgs).

Talking about "Unité de vente" is wrong because people will use this field even if they actually use different units from a same category (like Kg and Grams) while it should be used for different units from different category.

So to resume, maybe we should change all english terms "UoS" or "Unit of sale" into "SU" or "Secondary unit"...

I hope these explanations will clarify this problem for you...
