You can translate diagram element terms from the modeling language into an alternative language.
Prerequisites
You require the Translating privilege for translating.
Context
You can translate diagram content and display these translations to help when presenting diagrams to those who are not familiar with the modeling language.
Elements require a unique name within their namespace; if necessary, this is created automatically with a suffix. This name is always the name in the modeling language. However, you can translate diagram element terms into an alternative language. There are no constraints for the terms in an alternative display language.
Please note that combined terms may appear for diagram elements; these resulted from the configuration's display options. The Display Languages tool window lists the model element terms that are relevant for the diagram element terms.
If there is no translation for an element in the selected display language, then the term in the modeling language is used.
How to proceed
Select the display language you want from the Review>Language>Switch Language submenu.
Terms in the diagram content are shown in the set language. If there is no translation for an element in the selected display language, then the term in the modeling language is used.
Select Review>Language>Translate.
The Display Languages tool window appears. Display depends on the selection in the diagram.
Select the diagram or diagram elements you want to translate.
The Display Languages tool window lists the model element terms that are relevant for the diagram element terms.
Double-click on the row you want to translate in the <display language> column.
The field opens.
Enter the translation and close with [Enter].
The translated term is used in the diagram according to the display options.
