Translation

Further to the definition of nickname, you also can make use of the translate function to translate your work into another language. This is particularly useful when you want to add a new nickname for another different language, without entering all names and documentations from the beginning.

To perform a translation:

  1. Right click on the shape you want to perform translation and select Translate... from the pop-up menu.
    Perform translation on a shape

    NOTE: Make sure you are working under a nickname in order to see the Translate menu.
  2. In the Translate dialog box, the left hand side displays the name and documentation of the chosen shape in the language set for original nickname, which is English by default, while the right hand side displays name and documentation in the language of the active nickname.
