Sydney, Australia (March 18, 2014) – Australia-based IC3D, a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for the Manufacturing, Architectural and Engineering industries, has released a new version of translationXpert, the rapid language translation software it developed for SolidWorks.
Distributed nationally in Australia and New Zealand by IC3D sister company Intercad – the largest SolidWorks distributor in the region – translationXpert revolutionises the way designers collaborate with colleagues and other designers around the world in their native languages.
New functionality in translationXpert 2.0 means any SolidWorks drawing (including DWG imports) can now be automatically translated and output as a foreign-language PDF document. The software has also been upgraded to work seamlessly with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM’s workflow engine, allowing translations of SolidWorks documents to be generated automatically on release.
“translationXpert has changed the way many of customers do business, helping them overcome communication bottlenecks, reduce turnaround times on global projects, and eliminate issues that have literally been ‘lost in translation’,” says Intercad Sales and Marketing Director Mark Deere-Jones.
“With the new enhancements to the software, not only have we expanded its reach through the use of company-wide custom dictionaries for multiple foreign languages, but also given our customers anytime, anywhere access to Intercad’s Global Dictionary,” says Deere-Jones. “SolidWorks Enterprise PDM integration adds another layer of usability, allowing PDM customers to continue working with foreign partners irrespective of location and without deviating from their original workflows.”
By alleviating the need for designers to manually translate feature names, drawing annotations, custom properties, configurations, display states, title blocks and tables, translationXpert is a valuable tool for designers working in today’s multinational environment. It is best suited to fabricators, industrial designers, tool designers and professionals in related engineering fields that use SolidWorks and need to collaborate with international partners, work for overseas clients, or submit their foreign-based manufacturing orders to tender.
“The translation engine is fast and efficient, and takes just a few seconds to output a document in a foreign language,” says Deere-Jones. “Most importantly it’s fully integrated into SolidWorks, so designers don’t need to work outside the SolidWorks environment or waste time learning another application.”
