Microsoft Visio is a more useful and versatile diagramming application that can include information in each item. Although Microsoft Visio can be installed in several different language versions, you cannot keep multiple text or language page names in the same document.
Add text in multiple languages, hyperlinks, and page names to all editions of The Desktop's Visio 2010+.
Microsoft Visio is a more useful and versatile diagramming application that can include information in each item. Although Microsoft Visio can be installed in several different language versions, you cannot keep multiple text or language page names in the same document.
This can be a problem if you have a diagram that needs to be updated periodically, as you will need to keep many different copies of the diagram synchronized. This will soon lead to errors or inconsistencies, and the diagrams will become misleading and inaccurate.
bVisual has developed an add-in for Microsoft Visio 2010 and updated it to all newer versions, allowing you to place alternative language translations of the text in all text formats and even in the names of each page.
There are 98 different languages supported by Visio, and you can add alternate text to all of them if needed. You can even use Microsoft Cognitive Services Translator to automatically translate a large number of these languages. The add-in will also maintain the hyperlinks created between the pages of the document, even after changing the page names.

Note: All of these alternate languages have been translated automatically using Microsoft Cognitive Services Translator - so any error is from Microsoft!
Incorporating multi-language texts into a document in Visio
A few years ago, I was asked to write an add-in for Visio that could switch text in each flowchart format between different languages. The client required that 5 different alternate languages be supported and they had the same 99-page Visio document copied 5 times and each time there was an edition.
