Hi,
a continuation of older findings of terrible localization quality, now for CONNECTION Advisor.
Who is responsible for the localization of CONNECTION Advisor to Czech language?
Frankly, it looks more like an output from Google Translator, done by somebody who is not either English or Czech native speaker and who does not know Bentley software at all. I can see:
I find it suprising and strange the discussed localizations (CONNECT Advisor and CONNECTION Client) passed localization quality check. But maybe no quality check exists?
With regards,
Jan
Thanks for your interest in CONNECT Advisor,
I agree feedback from actual users definitely will help in improving CA.
can you drop me an email nazeer.hussain@bentley.com
I will include you and get you in touch with the respective translation guys
Hi Nazeer,
thanks for your answer.

With all respect, not.
In the past I invested a lot of time in discussions with localization team about bugs I found in products like MicroStation V8i (several hundreds findings!) or Bentley Map (completely wrong translation not respecting standardized terminology and GIS functionality). I also made a quality check of ProjectWise V8i localization for Bentley, which was pretty exhausting because of number of found issues (an author evidently did not try own localization in real usage). I offered possible cooperation to repair found issues, because to do it in own spare time is not acceptable, but an answer always was "there is chosen preferred translator already".
Because of this disappointment and lost time without any output, I am not interested to invest my time again. When Bentley are fine with poor localization quality, I have no reason to argue / fight with such decision. Many my customers prefer English version now or migrated to competitive solution already, so I come on contact with Czech translation less and less.
