Note: To change the font, from the Edit menu choose Font. When text is highlighted you can embolden (Ctrl+B), italicize (Ctrl+I) or underline (Ctrl+U) it.
Keywords
Selected text can be used to define and add keywords to the Keywords Library. Keywords created in this way will be automatically associated with the current diagram.
Highlight the text that you want to define as a keyword, right-click it and choose Add as Keyword.
For more information about Keywords, see Creating Keywords.
TIBCO Nimbus® allows processes to be created to support multiple languages by allowing diagram object text to be defined in different languages (the available languages are set by an Administrator in the System Options). The object text that is displayed will depend on the user's PC locale; the default language will be displayed if a user's PC locale is set to a language that has not been defined for a particular object.
To specify text for an additional language select Show additional language text entry panel, then choose the language from the Language drop-down list and enter the text in the box below. Repeat this step for any other languages that you want to define.
Note: If a language appears in red then the language variant is not supported in the current process repository.
Hint: To test how a diagram looks in a different language, from the View menu choose Switch Language and then choose a language to display.
