Our foreign language translation is outstanding

Treesoft CAD Foreign Language Translation makes it easier for companies operating internationally to create and deliver schematics in English and other local languages.  We’re setting new standards here, as several features represent a first-of-its-kind innovation, to the best of our knowledge. Below, we’ll introduce you to the highlights of our foreign language translation feature—features you could only dream of until now.

All translations are part of a single drawing

A key feature of our add-on module is that all translations are stored directly within a CAD drawing. They are available to you at any time in the open schematic. The advantage of this is that when you make changes, you only need to update a single drawing, and those changes will be applied to all stored languages.

Our autocomplete feature—fast, convenient, and great!

To ensure consistent labeling and high-quality translations, we recommend using our autocomplete feature. When entering text in the dialog box, be sure to take advantage of our lightning-fast autocomplete! As you type, the system automatically checks your dictionary and the translations stored within it.

When you select an entry from the autocomplete list, the schematics are automatically generated in English or in the languages you have added to the dictionary. This has the added benefit of ensuring that your translations are always consistent—combining convenience with quality assurance!

If you notice while adding a term that it doesn’t exist in the dictionary yet, go ahead and create it. It will then be available to you immediately, and you can be sure that it will always be translated the same way.

Intelligent collision checking ensures readability

Words and their translations aren’t always the same length, which is why we’ve built an intelligent collision checker into the foreign language translation feature. A colored highlight alerts you if text in one language overlaps with another element in the drawing. You can then review each instance and set a line break at the desired position. The line breaks you set are also saved directly in the dictionary, so you usually only have to set them once for each word—convenient, right?

The Merge feature is revolutionizing dictionary maintenance

Of course, once you’ve purchased the add-on module, you can use the import feature to directly upload your trusted dictionary. Alternatively, we provide a basic dictionary that you can customize to suit your needs. You can also back up your dictionary using the export function and share it if needed—so far, so good.

True to our principle that a well-maintained dictionary facilitates consistent translations, we have not only implemented standard import and export functions, but also an extremely practical merge function. Now you can compare your dictionaries with others, add missing entries, or choose between different translations. Maintaining and updating your dictionary has never been easier.

Adjusting font sizes manually? Not here!

You’ll also appreciate that our software features a fixed height. Our software automatically scales character sets, ensuring that the layout of your drawing remains consistent across different characters. Whether your schematic contains special characters or you’re outputting it in English or Japanese, the line height is fixed!

The output format is independent of the display format

The flexibility of the output format makes it easy for you to export schematics in a different language as PDF files in no time.

Output language and alternative language

If no translation is available for the selected language, the output will be displayed in the alternative language you specified, if possible.

Strong individually, unbeatable together

Imagine creating a new drawing and having all the necessary translations stored directly in the drawing after you’ve added text. Our CAD Foreign Language Translation add-on makes this possible with a well-maintained dictionary! 

Together, the individual features of our foreign language translation service make for an unbeatable CAD add-on module—see for yourself!
