TransTools for Visio

TransTools for Visio is a Visio file (opened as a regular Visio drawing) that contains useful commands to automate your translation tasks.

Features overview:

• Extract text from Visio files and merge translation back into them: extract all unique text from a Visio file and create a replacement list in Microsoft Excel. After the list is translated, merge the translated text back into the Visio file. This will dramatically increase speed of your translation, esp. in files containing repetitive information (e.g. organisation charts), batches of similar files, newer versions of old files, etc.

How does it work?

TransTools for Visio is a normal Visio file. Open the file with Microsoft Visio (by default, the automatic installer places it under 'My Documents\TransTools' folder).

Open Visio files you would like to process (from the same application window - double-click files in Windows Explorer or open with File -> Open...), and switch to TransTools for Visio (Window menu) . Then select the required command from TransTools menu.
