By default elecworks’ projects can have tree languages at the same time:

Symbols can have attributes corresponding to these languages. The next example shows attributes corresponding to component’s description:

This way we could have the following component in a drawing:

Maybe more languages are required in the drawings. This case, the attributes corresponding to each language should be inserted using the proper suffix, for instance DE for German. The easiest way to do it is copying an existent attribute and then modify its name:

In order to translate these attributes manually you can go to menu: Process > Translate and fill in the corresponding fields:

It can be done automatically using the Import option of the previous dialogue and selecting your translation database. The supported formats are xls, xlsx, mdb and sqlite.

It is shown below a table with the corresponding suffix for each language:
