To make the PARTproject translation tables available for external purposes (e.g. translation agencies), they can be saved as a *.CSV file ^[19] file.

The *:CSV file can then be opened and edited with a text editor or in MS Excel / OpenOffice.org Calc.

5.8.2.1.14.4.1. Preparation - Define catalog language

Select your catalog in the directory tree and fill in the fields Catalog created in the language, Default language of the catalog [Default language of catalog] and Catalog available in the languages on the General tab page.

Note the following during translating:

Important

Never change the header (row 1)
Never change columns "Type" and "Standard".
Never translate between dollar ($) and period (.), since this is a variable name.
Correct example:

Language Translation
german Grundplatte $BESTNR.($VERSB.) $AUSFUEHRUNG.
english Bottom Plate $BESTNR.($VERSB.) $AUSFUEHRUNG.

	Important
Save the table in the same format in which you received the file and close it. Name the file type if applicable in Windows Explorer to *.csv.
