Total File Language Conversion

23379520_1754115617933328_409369714_o.pngHi,

I'm most likely not the first to ask this. Is there a way to do a complete translation of the text in basically all files that may contain another language? Everything here in this file is Spanish and I would prefer English to be wired into all of the text.

Sorry, I must've explained it wrong. 
The file that I'm currently using in REVIT 2017 is in Spanish. I want to convert that file from Spanish>English. 
My default language is set to EN (US). However, the downloaded file as opened, has values and text set to Española instead of English.

@Anonymous hello, you can refer to these LINK . thanks

 

Try the following. Exit Revit session and edit Revit.ini (Back up first your Revit.ini just incase) file in Revit Program directory. Find lines that look like
[Language]
Select= ESP

 

Change to ENU

This link is void of my enquiry or I must be unrefined in knowing the process of this.

I have accessed the link. 
The contents inside the link have no correlation with my question.
It has not answered my question or given me tips how to approach it.

I see.
This should be recommended to Revit suggestions then.
I've seen Google Chrome translate a Facebook comment section from a language to another.
This can be possible through a system implementation for the coders of Revit.

@Anonymous Hello, you still can wait until someone from Autodesk developer/specialist reply to this issue and what they will say or can post on Revit idea-not sure? Thanks

I don't think there is a way of automatically translate all the terms in the file from Spanish into English (names of views, names of titles, names of parameters, names of families, etc.). Most likely the only way is to hire someone to do that.
