Collaborative Translation of Homestyler
I discussed the possibility demonstrated by Kean Walmsley of using UI Automation and hooking up machine translation to
translate the Revit tooltips,
which was later turned into the full-fledged
TransTips ADN Plugin of the Month for
all four products AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit and 3ds Max.
At the same time we are seeing improvements in the help systems by integrating support for collaboration and community building, e.g. for the
WikiHelp-based Revit API Developer Guide.
Now the first steps are being made to integrate collaborative support to localise a complete product: Homestyler into Russian.
If you are interested and know at least a bit of Russian, please log in to
translateit.autodesk.com and
join the 150+ translator community to help support this effort.
