Promis.e has the capability to automatically display selected text words and phrases in multiple languages. Promis.e includes a database containing lists of commonly used technical words and phrases in various languages (currently, English, German, and Chinese phrases are provided with the software). The words and phrases in each list are numbered, and the corresponding term is given the same number in each language list. By selecting and placing a word or phrase from the language text list, the software can automatically display the word or phrase in up to three of the available languages. A user can edit and add to any of the word lists and create new word lists for additional languages. The text is entered on the drawing using the Design > Multiline Text function.

Note: To select which languages will appear in a drawing, use the Project Options Regional Settings dialog.
