My version PCB Elegance

This version is not installed, just extract the file folder to disk. The key is the folder "PCB_Elegance_v3.52.1", here is also the latest version of the release. By default, the programs are in "EN".

Other translations are only in "CZ". Copy the path of the translation folder in advance, for example "C:\PCB_Elegance_v3.52.1\translations\CZ". Then start the main program "Design manager" by right-clicking "run as administrator" and click on "Configure paths" in the "Edit" tab. In the "Language path set" setting, switch to the "Other language" entry and enter the path of the translation folder, for example "C:\PCB_Elegance_v3.52.1\translations\CZ". Confirm "OK" and restart the program. All translations should be in Czech.

Remember that there are thousands of words in software tools and some are not ready yet.

Translations in "CZ" will by no means go with the original version from http://www.pcbelegance.org
