Introduction

Visual modeling is a universal language, but the tools used to create it have often been restricted to English interfaces. Visual Paradigm has addressed this barrier with significant enhancements to its AI-Powered visual modeling software. The Visual Paradigm AI Chatbot now offers robust multi-language support, covering both the User Interface (UI) and the generative conversation content.

This update allows professionals worldwide to generate UML diagrams, SysML requirements, ArchiMate viewpoints, and strategic analysis tools using their native language. This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to configure and utilize these new localization features to enhance your modeling workflow.

Key Concepts

Before diving into the operational steps, it is essential to understand the core components involved in this enhanced workflow.

  • AI-Powered Visual Modeling: The process of using Artificial Intelligence to convert natural language text prompts into structured diagrams (such as UML Class diagrams, Sequence diagrams, or Mind Maps) automatically.
  • UI Localization: The adaptation of the software interface—menus, buttons, tooltips, and settings—into a specific target language. In Visual Paradigm, this is handled via a dedicated language selector.

  • Context-Aware NLP: The AI Chatbot utilizes Natural Language Processing to detect the language of the user’s input prompt. Unlike simple translation, it understands the context, ensuring that generated diagram labels, actors, and descriptions are rendered in the same language as the request.
  • Diagram Interchange: The ability to move generated assets from the web-based AI Chatbot into the desktop environment (Visual Paradigm Professional or VP Online) for further editing and reporting.

Guidelines: Using the Multilingual AI Chatbot

Follow these steps to configure the environment and start generating diagrams in languages such as Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, German, and Portuguese.

Step 1: Accessing the Language Settings

The first step in localizing your experience is adjusting the User Interface. By default, the chatbot launches in English, but this can be changed instantly.

  1. Navigate to the top bar of the Visual Paradigm AI Chatbot interface.
  2. Locate the ‘Earth’ icon (Global/World icon).
  3. Click the icon to reveal a drop-down menu of supported languages.
  4. Select your preferred language (e.g., Español, Français, Deutsch).
  5. Observe that the interface elements, menus, and navigation buttons immediately update to the selected language.

Step 2: Initiating a Diagram Generation Prompt

Once the UI is set, you can begin interacting with the AI. The system is designed to detect the language of your prompt automatically, regardless of the UI language setting.

To generate a diagram, type a command in your native language into the chat input. For example, to create a Use Case Diagram in Spanish:

  • Input: “Dibuja un diagrama de casos de uso UML para un sistema de gestión de biblioteca.”
  • Action: Press Enter to send the prompt.
  • Result: The AI will analyze the request and generate a fully formed UML diagram. Crucially, the actors, use cases, and system boundaries within the diagram will be labeled in Spanish.

Step 3: Refining and Analyzing the Model

The multi-language support extends beyond initial generation. You can engage in a back-and-forth conversation to refine the model or ask for explanations.

  • Request an Explanation: If you need to understand the logic behind the generated diagram, ask a follow-up question such as “Explica este diagrama” (Explain this diagram).
  • Review the Output: The AI will provide a text-based summary and detailed explanation of the diagram’s components in the same language as your question.
  • Touch-ups: You can request specific changes, such as “Ajouter un acteur nommé Administrateur” (Add an actor named Administrator), and the diagram will update accordingly.

Step 4: Integration and Export

After creating your diagram in your preferred language, you can integrate it into your broader workflow.

  • Edit in Visual Paradigm: Click the import/edit options to bring the diagram into the full Visual Paradigm software (Desktop or Web).
  • Generate Reports: Use the diagram as a basis for generating documentation. The AI can draft reports in the language of the conversation, ensuring consistency for local stakeholders.

Tips and Tricks

Maximize your efficiency with these best practices for multilingual visual modeling.

Language Consistency Checks

While the AI is powerful, technical terminology can vary between regions. Always review the labels in generated diagrams (e.g., Class names, Stereotypes) to ensure they match your organization’s specific domain vocabulary. If a term is translated too literally, simply instruct the AI to rename it using a specific term.

Mixed-Language Workflows

You do not strictly need to change the UI language to generate non-English diagrams. If you prefer an English interface for navigation but need to generate a report for a Japanese client, keep the UI in English and simply type your prompt in Japanese. The AI’s content generation is decoupled from the UI language setting.

Leveraging Standard Notations

The AI supports strict industry standards like UML, SysML, ArchiMate, and C4 models. When prompting in a non-English language, try to use the standard English acronyms (e.g., “UML”, “SysML”) alongside your native instructions. This helps the AI anchor the request to the correct modeling standard while processing the structural instructions in your language.

Shareable Sessions

Use the URL sharing feature to collaborate with international teams. You can generate a diagram in German, share the session URL with a colleague, and they can continue the conversation or request modifications, bridging the gap between distributed teams.
