Creating localizedPackageNames.json

This feature is available after Archicad 28.1.0

localizedPackageNames.json contains the translations of the library package’s name for the localization versions listed in the file. The list of viable localization codes can be found in Archicad’s Library Localization Preferences dialog. Also, the example file shown here displays the available localization codes.

  • If a valid localization code is assigned a translation in the .json file and the localization is selected in Library Localization Preferences, the assigned translation will appear as the package’s display name in Library Manager. The translation also appears in Tool Settings Dialogs if “Folder View (with sources)” view option is selected.

  • If a localization code used in the file is not found in Library Localization Preferences, the localization cannot be activated and the translation will not be used.

  • If a localization code is selected in Library Localization Preferences that is not found in the .json, then the INT version’s translation will take place from the .json file.

localizedPackageNames.json has a simple, strict format. If you are creating your own, it is recommended to copy the following example into a .json file and remove the unnecessary localization versions from the list.
