partner_multi_relation - translation of relation types

[JonathanStein]

Module

partner_multi_relation

Describe the bug

Relation types are translatable, but translations does not work with virtual res.partner.relation.type.selection model

To Reproduce

Affected versions:
Tested with 12.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create more than ~10 relation types
2. Create a new relation
3. When selecting the type, choose "Search more..."

Expected behavior
Relation names should be translated in the list

name_get is implemented so it uses the names from res.partner.relation.type. This brought me to a work around where I replace the name values in a new read method:

    @api.multi
    def read(self, fields=None, load='_classic_read'):
        """ Work around to get names translated """

        result = super().read(fields=None, load='_classic_read')

        if 'name' in fields or not fields:
            try:
                # Translation works with name_get
                names = dict(self.name_get())
                # Replace "name" value with the one from name_get
                for record in result:
                    record['name'] = names[record['id']]
            except:
                pass

        return result
