Translating an architecture diagram

Upload the diagram image

Exported from draw.io, Lucidchart, Excalidraw or a slide — PNG, JPG or WebP up to 30 MB. Export at full resolution so small labels stay legible.

List the terms to keep

Write an instruction like "keep AWS service names, hostnames and port numbers untranslated". Only the prose around them changes.

Review the dense areas

Look over crowded regions in the editor, move a label that sits too close to a connector, then download.

What an architecture diagram needs from a translator

Service names stay recognisable
Terminology

Service names stay recognisable

  • Product names, protocols and resource IDs can be kept in the original through custom instructions.
  • Descriptions such as "handles auth for internal apps" or "read replica, async" are translated around them.
  • Mixed-language labels — a Chinese note beside an English service name — are handled in the same pass.

Icons and lines stay where they are
Layout

Icons and lines stay where they are

  • The Standard engine replaces text only; cloud icons, boundary boxes and arrows are not redrawn.
  • Region, VPC and subnet labels are placed back inside their own zones.
  • Any translated label can be moved or resized in the editor if it crowds a connector.

For design reviews across teams

  • Give an offshore team or a vendor a translated copy without redrawing the diagram in their language.
  • Translate every diagram from a design doc in one batch: 20 on Starter, 50 on Professional.
  • Each translated version stays in My Creations for the next review.

Pull the labels into your docs

Writing up the design? Image-to-text lifts every label and note off the diagram as Markdown, so service names and descriptions can go straight into your README or wiki — free.
