Context

In vanilla Odoo, fields of type Selection are stored as technical strings.

These technical strings are dynamically formatted and translated in the web interface.

However, when you need to display these fields in reports (other than qweb), it gets complicated.

Overview

After installing this module, a new method get_selection_label is added on all models.

The method takes in parameter the technical name of the field to display.

partner = env.ref("base.main_partner")
label = partner.get_selection_label("lang")
print(label)

The above code should print the formatted name of the language of the main partner.
