In order to make the PARTproject Translation tables available for external purposes (e.g. translation agencies), you can save them as *.CSV files [27].

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

Mark your catalog in the directory tree and fill out the fields Catalog created in the language and Catalog available in the languages on the General tabbed page.

The first row shows the different types of terms.

The following table explains the individual types:

Type Description Appearance
LINA Bill of material name PARTdataManager (Title row in table window), PARTbom, ERP and PDM systems
NB Standard name PARTdataManager (title row in the 3-D window), Feature Tree of CAD System, CAD System's Pool, PARTserver
VAR Variable description In the PARTdataManager table header under the variables
VAL Description text in value range field

PARTdataManager table

(If value range fields (yellow fields) contain translatable texts (e.g. "with" / "without")
ASY[a] Assembly description  
PRJ[b] NN and NT of a project if no table is contained Index tree in PARTdataManager (e.g. "Copyright")
NN Standard number Index tree in PARTdataManager (e.g. "DIN 933")
NT Standard title Index tree in PARTdataManager (e.g. "Hexagon bolt")
DIR Directory name Index tree in PARTdataManager, directory name

[a] Usually does not contain translatable terms and needs only to be translated if it makes sense. Terms such as "rb_rotary_asm_cfg" for example, do not need to be translated.

[b] Usually does not contain translatable terms and needs only to be translated if it makes sense.

[Tip] Tip

In Excel (for example) choose the filter function and only show one type or sort according to type. Only edit one type.

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:

    Language Translation
    german Grundplatte $BESTNR.($VERSB.) $AUSFUEHRUNG.
    english Bottom 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.
