Would it be possible to have a language selection option for localised versions of Vectorworks with the tools using that language too when showing information instead of only the language of the localised version.
For example, when using coordinate markers in the Dutch Vectorworks version it uses N, O, Z, W instead of N, E, S , W for Northing, Easting etc.
Something similar happens with the naming of road classes.
This is hardcoded into the tool but it is a nuisance when working with non-Dutch clients or drawings that need to be in English for whatever reason.
Using the International English version is not always an option if you also need to adhere to local (e.g. Dutch) conventions.
Having the option to select another language for the user interface (and tools), i.e. English in my case, would solve this.
I know there is a "translation list" in Vectorworks in the localised Dutch version to translate the English wording into the local language and vice-versa for opening it in an English version of Vectorworks but unfortunately I cannot choose to use the English wording as a default instead of the local language when I want to.
Or even better, have the option to use "language files" to change the user interface and tools language so that you can use the clients language if you are using a different language yourself. This assuming that the local distributors have a similar "translation list" that could be shared between the various localised versions of Vectorworks.
