Yes, it is a manual process to export and import the xlif files unless you are using Windchill.

For Windchill there is the ability to have an updated xlif file automatically applied to the c3di.

Hi @Catalina ,

 

We have raised a case for the same since we wanted to create annotations in different languages & not change the UI language.

I will update once we have a solution.

 

Thanks & Best Regards,

Creo Illustrate does have a localization feature for notes in figures.

This allows you to export an xlif file for processing in a external translation tool before importing the translated xlif back into illustrate.

Hi @agarland ,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Its a manual process right?

First we have to export .xlff file and then manually translate all the text and then again import the file correct?

Correct me if I am wrong also, can this process be made auto?

Hi @agarland ,

 

Can you please tell me about which external tools to used  for translation.

 

Thanks in advance.

I can't recommend a tool I'm afraid although I believe there are many translation tools available that handle xlif files.

If you want your illustration text to make sense in multiple languages, my advice is to use a formal translation vendor. Trying to do automated "machine" translation, especially with highly technical content, is likely to produce some questionable translations, possibly leading to errors and confusion on the user's part.
