Working with translated text
You can export text to a drawing to the XML Localization Interchange file format (XLIFF), an XML-based format used to share translatable
text between localization tools and software.
By default, all paragraph text, artistic text, table text, text on a curve, and callouts in a drawing are exported for translation. You can exclude
a text object from translation. When exporting text for translation, the font, font size, type face, bolding, italics, and underlining are
maintained.
You can also import translated text from an XLIFF file into drawing.

Text in hidden or locked text objects, or in text objects on hidden or locked layers, is excluded when the drawing is exported for
