+Base XML Rename
+===============
+This module allows to rename UI elements using XML data files in modules.
+
+.. contents:: Table of Contents
+
+Context
+-------
+Renaming a menu in Odoo directly through the web interface is not a good idea.
+
+* We rapidly loose track of what was modified.
+* The menu names are not changed in test environments (except with replication of the prod).
+* The changes are lost if someone forces the override of translations.
+
+The same applies for renaming other objects such as user groups.
+
+Module Design
+-------------
+A mixin ``xml.rename.mixin`` is added.
+
+This mixin has a method ``rename`` which takes 3 mandatory parameters:
+
+* ``ref``: the xml reference of the record.
+* ``lang``: the language of the term.
+* ``value``: the new term.
+
+Optionaly, a ``field`` parameter can be supplied, in case the field is not ``name``.
+
+The mixin can be added to any model.
+
+For now, the module adds the mixin to ir.ui.menu and res.groups.
+
+Usage
+-----
+Here are 2 examples for renaming menu items and user groups.
+
+Renaming a Menu
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Inside an xml file:
+
+* Add a `function` node with model="ir.ui.menu".
+* Inside the `function` node, you must set 3 `value` nodes.
+
+  These nodes must have type="char" and respectively contain the following data:
+
+    1. The XML ID of the menu item
+    2. The languge code
+    3. The new label to set
+
+Here is an example to rename the `Settings` menu to `Administration`.
+
+.. code-block:: XML
+
+    <function name="rename" model="ir.ui.menu">
+        <value type="char">base.menu_administration</value>
+        <value type="char">en_US</value>
+        <value type="char">Administration</value>
+    </function>
+
+Here is the result after loading the module containg the XML file.
+
+.. image:: static/description/admin_menu.png
+
+Renaming a User Group
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Here is an example of renaming a user group. This works the same way as renaming a menu item.
+
+.. code-block:: XML
+
+    <function name="rename" model="res.groups">
+        <value type="char">account.group_account_user</value>
+        <value type="char">fr_FR</value>
+        <value type="char">Comptable</value>
+    </function>
+
+Before loading the XML, the group is named ``Montrer les fonctions de comptabilité complète`` in french.
+
+.. image:: static/description/group_before.png
+
+After loading the XML, the group is named ``Comptable``.
+
+.. image:: static/description/group_after.png
+
+Known Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you reload translations with ``Overwrite Existing Terms`` checked, the terms loaded with XML
+will not be reloaded automatically. You will need to update the modules containing these XML files).
