CAD translation

Meeting the Need with Our Expertise

We understand that CAD translation is not just about converting text from one language to another. These files are often packed with technical terminology, industry-specific jargon, and abbreviations that require both linguistic skill and technical knowledge. Our team excels in translating these elements while preserving the intent and functionality of the original drawings.

We handle CAD files directly in formats like .dwg and .dxf, and while automated export-import tools such as bespoke macros can assist, they often fall short. The extracted text frequently requires extensive cleanup to ensure it’s suitable for translation. We rely upon the human eye and manual transcription to ensure no detail is overlooked. Once transcribed, we use CAT tools to ensure consistency across your project whilst generating savings.

The complexities don’t stop at translation. Text expansion, which is common when translating out of English, often requires significant formatting adjustments to maintain design integrity. Additionally, non-Western scripts can cause vertical text shifts, necessitating manual corrections by our experienced formatters.
