    Default Shared parameter displayed in different languages?

    Hi everyone,

    I would like to know if there is any possibility (API or not) that I could define a shared parameter and then somehow display it in different languages depending upon the Revit language (for example in French for French Revit and in English for the English version of Revit).

    This would be something similar to Revit SHEET_SCALE built-in parameter which is displayed Échelle in French and Scale in English.

    Thank you for your attention,

    Buddy

    We've been doing quite a bit of work in this arena. This video, for example covers how we display various text values in different languages: http://youtu.be/nj0kkxDmvsY

    But it sounds like you want to have the name of the parameter change, not the parameter value, correct? I can check with our programming team, if you'd like.

    Hi Glynnis,

    I'm sorry for the delay, I was expecting a notification, but I think I forgot to check this option, so I was "passing" by here just in case.

    Thank you for trying to be of help, yes indeed, what I need is to change the name of the parameter according to the language and not necessary the value, because most of the time it would be about numerical values.

    I thought that the SHEET_SCALE is a good example, although this one is a built-in parameter (while I'm looking at shared parameters) and Revit changes the name of the parameter by the Revit language (Échelle or Scale), but it doesn't change the value of it, which is always in English, "As indicated".

    So it would be great if you could find some workaround for this alternate parameter name display issue.

    Thanks again,

    Constantin

    OpenRFA now supports multiple languages for shared parameters. Refer to the documentation here: http://openrfa.org/documentation/reg...nguage-support
