Dictionary for Revit and AutoCAD Terms for Localisation

[Oliver_Bringmann]

We want to use the right Autodesk terms in our localized user's documentation of our Plugins.

We're searching for a table of translations of Revit and AutoCAD terms into multiple languages which can be used for our automated translation dictionary.  We just need a mapping English term --> Localized term. Our supported languages are actually German, French, Spain(Mexico), Chinese(Simpified), Portugiese(Brasil), Japan and Italian.

There is a good “Glossary of AutoCAD Terms”

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/de/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/DEU/Au...

which can be displayed in different languages.

So we see that e. G. LAYER is also in German LAYER, but a SOLID is a VOLUMENKÖRPER.

We would prefer a table instead of a HTML page for more automation.
