Hi everybody,
When I create a part with Solidworks (configurated in French language), and then someone in another country would like to edit this part (in Solidworks configurated in English language) but he wants that the names of the functions will transform in this language used in Solidworks (English).
I want to know if is it possible ?

HI Bejaoui,
Please see this forum thread for some information.
In summary, there is no automatic translation mechanism in SOLIDWORKS for this. In that thread above, someone has posted information about a macro that may help. I also remember someone posting on this forum a link to a for purchase add-in that could also do it, but I cannot find it at this time. I will update my post with that information if I find it, but someone else may remember or know information about the add-in and post about it.
Thanks,
Jim
The macro might not be able to edit/rename all features (you will have to edit the macro to make it work). But that would means that renaming features could break some relation, equations, etc.
Here is the add-in Jim is talking about : Translationxpert
Thanks for the macro. It works great. As you can see the names changed but the error message is sowing in French.
I really do not care about the tree naming as I can tell what it is by the icon. But I do not have enough experiences in solidworks to know what the warning says.
I am running an English installation opening French models.
thanks
Zobel
