The interface in your language
Every menu, tool, panel and message of Calq is written in English, French, Arabic and Brazilian Portuguese. Arabic runs right to left. You choose the language in Preferences and can change it at any time.
The words are the trade's own in each language, not a word-for-word translation. Calq is made in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
The drawings in the project's language
A model has a project language of its own, apart from the language of the person drawing. Its sheets, title blocks, schedules, keys and reports are written in that language, so a team can work in English and issue in Arabic or French.
- Scales as the language writes them: a model in French prints 1/100
- Storey names as the trade writes them: RDC and R+1 in French
- Numbers and areas in the language's own format
Calq AI in four languages
Calq AI, on the paid plans, reads a request and answers in English, French, Arabic or Brazilian Portuguese.
Where it stops
An IFC file keeps the standard's own English names for its classes and property sets, as in every BIM tool. The names you type are kept as you typed them.
