It helps partly! i see already first translationerror like “sheets” in german are “Pläne” not “Blätter”!
“Mass” are “Körper” not “Masse”

that was the reason why i searched for direct translation in revit!

this is also important for BUILDINPARAMETERS … when i write a IFC they automaticly get the english version like “Außenbauteil” becomes “IsExternal” a.s.o.

is there no dicctionary in the background like {"sheets" : "Pläne", "Mass":"Körper","wall":Wände","railing":"Geländer"};

For BIP it would be more useful {"LoadBearing":"Tragendes Bauteil", "Length":"Länge","IsExternal":"Außenbauteil"};

Can use the Google Translate, then follow with your own mapping for words that didn’t correctly change :smiley: ?
