Hello,
Welcome to the forum, and thanks for the feedback.
As an example, here are a few answers:
Good question! Unfortunately, it is not easy to answer, because it all depends on what your business does, and how you want Tryton to work for you. However in most businesses you will probably want at least the product, purchase and sales modules, and an accounting module for your country (if one is available). You may also want to manage goods in a warehouse with the stock module.
If you activate a module, then all the modules that it depends on will also be activated too. So, for example, activating the party module will also activate the country module as well, as it is needed for the party’s addresses.

I’m sure you know this, but language is something like English, German, French… Where as translation is the process of converting from one language to another, and a translation is the result of converting something from one language to another.
So in the context of Tryton you would set the language you want to use Tryton in, and then when the translations are loaded all the field names would be translated into that language.
Some other members of the community are better placed to help, but I think there are a few settings you need, and I think you need to load the translations for your language, here are some links to the documentation:
and this is a bit of behind the scenes information:
The starting and ending dates for the business year can depend on the rules for your country or perhaps the dates your accountant suggests you use. You may also want to choose quarterly or monthly periods. So you just need to create it in
Financial > Configuration > Fiscal Years > Fiscal Years. There is also currently a guide on How to create a Fiscalyear.
The VAT rates are normally setup in the accounting module for your country, and you can use the taxes that are defined in the module to correctly add and account for VAT.
Hope that helps!
