Translating the Language of Notes Within a .dft File

[bbrown611]

Hello,
I'm trying to find a software solution that would allow me to translate the language of notes and other text contained in a Solid Edge drawing from one language to another. Ideally I would like to be able to this within the source .dft file, but it would be okay if I had to first turn the drawing into neutral a format.

I'm using Solid Edge v20 (will be upgrading to ST2 later this year) and I'm looking to provide prints to a Spanish speaking customer. In the future the language may be German, French, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

My guess would be you wont find a specific plug in for SE.

I'd be surprised if you found one for dxf or similar though maybe as it's a bigger market.

You could copy and paste from the draft to a translation software however...

Using translation software without someone who has a good understanding of technical language in both dialects confirming the translation sounds a bad idea.

Thanks Kenat,
I haven't found any software solutions so far for SE or other formats, but was hoping someone has come across a similar challenge here that may have an idea.

We are looking for someone to proof read the translation as you suggest. With the volume of drawings I'm looking to translate, I was hoping to find a way to assist in this endeavor.

I would have to agree with Kenat, copy and paste into a software is probably the only thing you will find. The internet does have some free translation sites (babelfish for one) that you can copy and paste into different languages.

The problem with the automatic translation sites is that you seem to get a literal translation of individual words.
