Language support in mind maps

Advanced Product Designer mind maps support multilingual product labels by letting you define text for two languages in a single map using a caret separator. To support more languages, create a separate mind map for each language pair so translated labels appear in the PolicyCenter user interface.

In the mind map, the topic text, Personal Auto and Vehicle, becomes the label or name of the object in the APD App product. When you run a policy transaction in PolicyCenter, these labels and names appear in the user interface.

You can define mind maps with text for two languages. In the map, use a caret (^) to separate the text for each language, for example Tariff Fahrzeuge^Tariff Motor, where the first string is the translated string and the second string is the string in the default language for your instance.

To add languages, create a mind map for each language. For example, if the default application language is US English and a product requires French and German, create a French/English mind map and a German/English mind map. The en_US English is used to match the names.

German/English mind map

In a German/English mind map, the product line name appears first in German (Tariff Fahrzeuge) and then in English (Tariff Motor):

Tariff Fahrzeuge^Tariff Motor

German and English text are provided for objects that appear in the product user interface. Text that does not appear in the user interface, such as Vehicle Cover and Vehicle Details, may be English only.

Advanced Product Designer requires the Meiryo UI font to display Japanese text in XMind mind maps.

To create XMind mind maps with Japanese text, you must have the Meiryo UI font installed.
