Translations are welcome

First, if you want to contribute to the translaltion, I want to thank you.

I will be very grateful and happy to implement your work.

So, if you want to translate the texts of the interface please proceed as follows:

Files location

The plugin files are located in the following directory:

%appdata%\Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2021\Plugins\BCFplugin

or

%appdata%\Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2021\Plugins\BCFplugin

(or both if you have both products installed...)

Step 1: create a language specific folder

Create a copy of the en-US directory and rename it according to your language as follows :

  • en-US English localization
  • de-DE German localization
  • es-ES Spanish localization
  • fr-FR French localization
  • it-IT Italian localization
  • ja-JP Japanese localization
  • ko-KR Korean localization
  • pt-BR Brazilian Portuguese localization
  • ru-RU Russian localization
  • zh-CN Simplified Chinese (PRC) localization
  • zh-TW Traditional Chinese (PRC) localization

Step 2: edit the files

In your language directory edit the two files:

BCFribbon.xaml
BCFplugin.name

BCFribbon.xaml

This file is in xml format.

Update the following fields:

  • Title
  • Text
  • ToolTip

BCFplugin.name

This file has the following format:

For single line texts :

STRING NAME=
Text of the string in your language.

For mulitple line texts :

STRING NAME={
Line 1 of the string in your language.
Line 2 of the string...
}
