I am trying to find a way to expedite translations of our drawings. Each drawing has a series of callouts showing what that piece of the drawing is via text. I would need to do 100's of drawings for each book.
Questions:
1. Can I write something to batch a folder and extract the name of the file, and the text from each textbox so that when I get the translation back, I can automate the reinsertion of the translated text to its correct field (i.e. TextField1 = "Translate this" then repopulate that same exact field with "Translation")? In order to do this I would think each text field would have to be tagged with some unique identifier so that it would know which translation goes where in the drawing. Keep in mind, I'm ok with manually tagging each textbox if necessary.
2. Assuming the above is possible, what would be the best program to write the extracted text to so that reading and writing the translated text back into the drawing is as easy as possible (i.e. Word, Excel, PDF)?
