In order to make the PARTproject Translation tables available for external purposes (e.g. translation agencies), you can save them as *.CSV files [21].

The *:CSV file can then be opened and edited with a text editor or in MS Excel / OpenOffice.org Calc.

In the index tree, select your catalog and fill out the fields Catalog created in the language, Default language of catalog and Catalog available in the languages on the tabbed page General.

Mostly does not contain translatable terms and so only has to be translated if it makes sense.

Note the following during translating:

[Important]Important

  • Never change the header (row 1)

  • Never change columns "Type" and "Standard".

  • Never translate between dollar ($) and period (.), since this is a variable name.

    Correct example:

    LanguageTranslation
    germanGrundplatte $BESTNR.($VERSB.) $AUSFUEHRUNG.
    englishBottom Plate $BESTNR.($VERSB.) $AUSFUEHRUNG.

[Important]Important

Save the table in the same format in which you received the file and close it.

Name the file type if applicable in Windows Explorer to *.csv.

Start PARTproject in order to import the translation file via Import CSV for translation.
