Improvement suggestion: Language-independent output of yes/no properties as "Yes/No"

Dear SOLIDWORKS Team / Bechtle, 

 

We work in a multilingual environment with SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE. We regularly encounter a problem with yes/no properties: In the user interface, these properties are displayed as "Ja/nein" or "Yes/No" depending on the language setting.

However, for our database analysis and BOM-related processes, we require a consistent, language-independent display – ideally always as "Yes" or "No."  Even the "SW-Mass" paramter gets translated by the UI sound strange. Currently, this is only possible with workarounds (macros, PDM rules, or manual maintenance), which is error-prone and requires a lot of maintenance.

 

Our wish: A native way to define yes/no properties in the model so that they are saved and output as "Yes/No" regardless of the UI language. Language is helpffull for our employees to understand Solidworks better. But Confuses the IT by connecting parametrs random to the UI. Some companies may us ure english for technical communication some need other languages, while the UI differs in their location (material DB, whole assitant, etc.). We would be happy if this issue could be included as an enhancement request, or if there is already a solution that we aren't aware of yet.
