Details on Translation / Translate texts

For information on the command Translation under Labeling on the Create tab.

You are here:

Create tab ➤ Labeling ➤ Translation

The Translation command works similarly to the Find and replace command. The terms to be re­placed and translated are stored in an Excel sheet which you will find in the program directory under:

…\CAD\TGA Desktop\User-standards\Tools\wordbook_de_en.xls

If your software is from another manufacturer, you can find the file in the program directory under:

…\TGA Desktop\User-standards\Tools\wordbook_de_en.xls

You can adjust this table and save it with another name. In the translate text dialog, you may then select this table in the Word book file (MS Excel Format) section and use it for translation.
