Welcome in the forum, Francois!

 

I am afraid you will not find an automatic translator inside AutoCAD. But with some additional work it can be done. There are Lisp programs to export all the texts from a drawing in a file. An Automatic translator could translate the text. And finally, an other lisp could place the translated text back to the drawing.

I've heard that Mechanical has some facilities for this, but I never worked with.

Thanks for the reply fuccaro,

i'll try that out.

Try this one: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=2280

It will use Google Language tools, so you can translate many languages from/to yours.

I've said it before but I don't mind repeating myself.....

 

the translators in line are well ' to obtain the idea ' but enough good is not close for a technical document anywhere.

 

or to put it in English before I translated it to Spanish and back again

 

online translators are fine to "get the idea" but are nowhere near good enough for a technical document.

 

try it yourself and then decide if you want something built to "translated" text or if you want to pay a bit more and have a person do it.
