Multilingual CAD File Translation

One of the key CAD services is the accurate translation of technical documentation embedded in CAD files. This includes:

  • Text and Annotations: Translation of all text within CAD files, including labels, dimensions, callouts, and notes. The goal is to ensure that translated versions remain clear and accurate for local engineers or manufacturers to use.
  • Layer Naming: If CAD files include layers with names that need to be localized, the CAD team ensures these are translated to maintain clarity for local teams without disrupting the layer structure.
  • Multilingual Title Blocks: Ensuring that title blocks, which typically contain project information such as client details, drawing title, and version history, are translated appropriately for international use.
  • Standards and Conventions: Adapting drawings to follow local drafting standards and conventions, as different countries often have varying protocols for units of measurement, dimensioning styles, and symbols.

Localization of Units and Measurements

CAD designs often contain measurements in specific units (e.g., metric or imperial). When translating CAD files, the following considerations are addressed:

  • Conversion of Units: The team ensures that all measurements are properly converted and adapted to suit the target region’s standards. This may include changing inches to millimeters, feet to meters, or converting volumes, weights, and pressures.
  • Redimensioning: After unit conversion, the DTP team checks that all dimensions are correctly updated and aligned in the design, ensuring the layout is not compromised by the new measurements.
  • Symbols and Abbreviations: Some symbols and abbreviations vary across regions (e.g., the diameter symbol or the way tolerances are expressed). CAD services ensure these are accurately localized.

File Compatibility and Format Support

Global Linguals CAD services cater to a variety of industries that use different types of CAD software. Ensuring compatibility between software versions and file types is crucial for seamless workflow integration. Key formats supported include:

  • AutoCAD (DWG, DXF): The most widely used CAD software in engineering and architecture. The team translates and localizes DWG and DXF files while ensuring all elements (lines, layers, and objects) remain intact.
  • SolidWorks (SLDPRT, SLDASM): Commonly used in mechanical design. The team handles both part and assembly files, ensuring that text elements and dimensions are accurately translated.
  • CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, Revit, and others: Other CAD tools used in specialized industries (e.g., aerospace, automotive, and construction) are also supported. The translation process ensures that files are compatible with the software’s versions used by local teams.

 

Technical Drawings and Diagrams

Global Linguals specializes in translating technical drawings and diagrams across multiple industries. These include:

  • Mechanical Drawings: Parts, assemblies, and machine layouts require exact translation of technical terms and specifications. The CAD services ensure that translated drawings maintain functionality and readability.
  • Architectural Plans: Floor plans, elevations, and section views are carefully localized, ensuring that text labels, room names, and specifications meet the standards and cultural norms of the target region.
  • Electrical Schematics: Circuit diagrams, wiring plans, and other electrical layouts are adapted with precise terminology in the target language while ensuring that industry-specific symbols remain recognizable.

Localization for Compliance with Regional Standards

Every country has unique standards and codes for technical documentation, particularly in regulated industries like construction, aerospace, and automotive. The CAD team at Global Linguals ensures:

  • Compliance with Local Building Codes: Architectural and construction drawings are adapted to meet local building codes and industry standards.
  • Adherence to Industry Standards (ISO, ANSI, DIN, etc.): CAD drawings may need to adhere to specific international or national standards for dimensioning, tolerances, and symbols (e.g., ISO for international, ANSI for the U.S., DIN for Germany). The CAD team ensures that translated designs conform to these standards.

CAD Drawing Recreation and Redesign

In some cases, CAD services require recreating or redesigning elements from scratch to fit new specifications or languages. This can include:

  • Recreating CAD Files: If original files are missing or corrupt, the CAD team can recreate the design from a PDF or other format, ensuring that the new file matches the original in functionality and layout while allowing for multilingual adaptation.
  • Modifying Design Features: Sometimes, designs need modification to suit regional preferences or regulatory needs. The CAD team assists in adjusting designs while keeping the core engineering principles intact.

Quality Control and Accuracy

Accuracy is paramount in CAD translations, as even minor errors can lead to costly mistakes in manufacturing, construction, or design. The Global Linguals CAD team emphasizes:

  • Linguistic Accuracy: Ensuring that all technical terms, dimensions, and instructions are translated with industry-specific accuracy. Specialized translators with experience in engineering, architecture, or technical fields review the content to guarantee precision.
  • Design Integrity: Post-translation checks are conducted to ensure that the translated content hasn’t altered the original design’s integrity, dimensions, or functionality.
  • File Testing and Validation: After translation, the CAD files are tested to ensure that all elements are editable, viewable, and functional in the target software environment.

3D CAD Model Adaptation

For clients working with 3D CAD models, translation services are extended to cover:

  • Text Elements within 3D Models: Labels, annotations, and any other text that appears within 3D models are translated and reinserted in a way that fits seamlessly into the model.
  • Layer and Viewport Management: Ensuring that 3D models maintain their layers and views post-translation, including sectional views, exploded views, and other technical representations.
