We are thinking some walkaround for this problem before rolling out 2021 in the company, but honestly I want Solidworks to fix it. We have a ton of frames using weldment profiles and cutlist and this is the second time we are hit with a bug related to using a non english version of SW and is going to cost us time to eventually fix every cutlist item manually.SPR's (Bugs)

Summary
Since the cut list property 'Description' of the structural member created by SW2021 has been changed to 'Notes' in Japanese, "Description" is not displayed correctly in the cut list table on the drawing created in the previous version.
Technical Comments
Our weldment profiles library have a "Description" property for every profile that is imported in the part file and it fills the weldment cutlist in drawings. SW decided to arbitrary translate it to what resulted in another new property that shows in the part file and the description property is not filled. resulting in a ignored empty field.
Switching SW in english solves the problem.
PLEASE SOLIDWORKS STOP DOING THIS! IT BREAKS OUR DESIGN PROCESS! IMPACT IS NOT MEDIUM
