Description

Inside a container running the official odoo image locale -a reports only C, C.UTF-8, POSIX; and since its USER is odoo (i.e. whoami reports odoo, not root) one apparently cannot add additional locales with normal Debian means such as locale-gen.

Does the odoo image support other locales than English, and if so how?

Research direction

No file or test is named. Reproduce the locale output in the official Odoo container, then inspect its user and locale setup to determine whether non-English locales are supported. Done means documenting the supported locales and exact steps, or clearly stating that the image does not support them.
