Diagrams Now Speaks Chinese & German

It hasn’t been long since we released Diagrams 2.0, our major update that introduced support for palettes and extended the set of available formatting options. These features gave you even more flexibility for diagram creation — be it flowcharts for outlining business processes, UML-style diagrams for describing software architectures, or any other diagram types that help you in your day-to-day work.

Today, we’re pleased to announce another version of Diagrams. This one will primarily please our Chinese- and German-speaking users. That’s because we took your favorite diagramming app on a trip around the world and taught it your languages. As our company is based in Germany, we’re especially happy that we finally translated the app to German. And with that, Diagrams 2.1 Panda is now available in three languages: English, Chinese, and German.

No worries if you still prefer English; we have something for you as well. Have you ever found yourself dealing with a larger number of Diagrams files and losing track of which one contains what diagram? Having to open them one by one felt tiresome? Well, we experienced this too when working on diagrams for the Examples Library.

So we’re happy to introduce support for Quick Look! This feature lets you easily peek into your diagrams directly from the Finder without having to open them. When browsing your documents, you’ll be able to get a first glance by looking at icon thumbnails and view full previews of your diagrams by pressing the Space bar. And this functionality isn’t limited to the Finder; it’s integrated deeply into the system, so you’ll get previews of Diagrams documents in the Spotlight search or in Mail when someone attaches them to an email. We believe this addition will vastly improve your workflow!

Diagrams 2.1 Panda is a free update, and it’s available on the Mac App Store and Setapp as of today. See the release notes for a full overview of changes. And please let us know if you have any feedback or feature requests.

Next, we’ll be shifting our focus back to the canvas, as we have a ton of ideas for improvements. We’re also already eagerly awaiting what Apple unveils at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference and what it will mean for Diagrams. But that’s all we have to say for now...

Till the next time! 直到下一次!Bis zum nächsten Mal!
