Besides working with every imaginable language pair, and adapting to any subject or register required, a translation agency must also be able to handle many formats and different file types. Some technical projects may include drawings and diagrams created with AutoCAD®; having a tool that can help us tackle the translation of this type of material becomes all important. Fortunately, now we can resort to programs like TranslateCAD®.这个共享软件的创建者在他的网站上告诉我们，当他意识到直接在原始图纸上编写翻译不方便时，他决定开发该产品。实际上，删除源文本并将其替换为目标版本是一件麻烦和令人沮丧的任务，也是可能产生错误的任务。更不用说翻译人员需要在他们的电脑上安装AutoCAD®，这是不能简单地假设的。The creator of this shareware tells us on his website that he made up his mind to develop the product when he realized how inconvenient it was to write the translation directly on the original drawings. Indeed, removing the source text and replacing it with the target version is a cumbersome and frustrating task, and one that is likely to produce errors. Not to mention the fact that the translators would need to have AutoCAD ® installed on their computers, something which cannot simply be assumed.使用TranslateCAD®或类似程序进行翻译可以解决这两个关键问题，因为软件从图中提取文本，从而允许使用常规翻译工具进行后续处理。TranslateCAD®将生成两个.txt文件：一个具有.dwg或.dxf文件的语言内容，一个具有随后重建所需的所有代码。一旦提取的文本已被翻译（您可以使用MemSource，Trados或任何其他CAT工具），您只需输入两个.txt文件，即带有代码的文件，这将保持不变，修改后的目标文件版本回到程序。然后，TranslateCAD®使用这两个来重新绘制图形。Translating with TranslateCAD®, or similar programs, takes care of these two key problems, seeing as the software extracts the text from the diagrams thus allowing for their subsequent processing with conventional translation tools. TranslateCAD® will produce two .txt files: one with the linguistic content of the .dwg or .dxf file and one with all the codes needed for subsequent reconstruction. Once the extracted text has been translated (which you can do with MemSource, Trados or any other CAT tool), you simply feed the two .txt files—the one with the codes, which will remain intact, and the modified one with the target version—back into the program. TranslateCAD® then uses the two to regenerate the drawing.使用这样的工具可以节省翻译专业人员大量的时间，这将直接影响项目的成本。所以，如果您有需要翻译的AutoCAD文件，请询问我们的团队免费报价; 我们有工具为您提供准确，快速和具有成本效益的翻译。Using tools like this one can save translation professionals a lot of time, and that will have a direct effect on the cost of projects. So, if you have AutoCAD files that need translating, please ask our team for a free quote; we have the tools to provide you with an accurate, fast and cost-efficient translation.。
