The latest edition of Tourenfahrer magazine has two nice jaunts into Switzerland. Both convenient enough for Lucerne and both downloadable (as usual) from the magazine’s website.

Open Alpentourer (or any other 'foreign' mag) in Readly. Take a screenshot of the page or passage you want to translate. Open in Google Pictures and click the 'copy text from image' pop up. This gives you the option to select the text you want and then gives the options to copy, search or translate.
It's a little clunky but it works reasonably well
I have looked at the GPS download from the website. It’s pretty good, I must say.
One bit of advice, it’s often best to rely on the track version of any download. Convert the track into a route using BaseCamp (or other software) but do be aware that any mistakes the creator of the route made when creating the track will be replicated in your version, too. My advice would be to trace over the track, which is easy to do in BaseCamp or Mapsource, avoiding any errors, and all should be good. Are you ever likely to use the route exactly as the the person who created it did? Maybe yes, but maybe not. That is up to you.
Though am sure he’ll never love the north east bit France
