Learn how to set up your translation database

EPLAN Recommendations

EPLAN has supplied you with a dictionary with sample words and activated it in the standard. We recommend the following:

• Use the sample dictionary "Translate.db" as an internal test and training database.
• Create a new database (empty dictionary) for your terms and relevant translation languages.

Create a new database

1. On the ribbon, select the Tools tab > Translation command group > Dictionary button. The "Dictionary" opens.
2. Select the Management tab and for "EPLAN", the + button (New). The "Create Dictionary" dialog opens.
3. Now create your new dictionary, assign a meaningful file name starting with your company ID (XYZ) e.B. "[XYZ]_Translate.*".
4. Close the dialog with [Save].
5. Select all the languages you want to be available in the dictionary one by one using the + button (New). A subsequent addition of additional languages is possible at any time via the same step.
6. End your setting with [Close].

Hint:

You can also use SQL database technology. A step-by-step guide can be found in "Additional information". Go back to the overview.
