How to Change Language in SOLIDWORKS Electrical

January 15, 2026

In SOLIDWORKS Electrical you can switch between languages in the interface and documentation. This video shows how to manage the language settings and the symbol attributes. Application language is set via Tools > Interface Configuration > Application Language, and changes require restarting the software. At the project level, up to three languages can be configured, but only descriptions are translatable. Translation methods include manual entry during object creation, editing via the interface, or using Excel export/import for bulk updates. Additional tools like Find and Replace, multilingual text panels, and customizable attributes for manufacturer parts streamline translation. SOLIDWORKS Electrical simplifies multilingual project management, ensuring accurate descriptions without automatic translation.
