[instaviz-users] Localization of app store description

[Glen Low]

Hi All

I'll need the following app store description localized. I've changed  
some of the description to reflect new functions in 1.3, and to change  
the more technical "graphs" to "diagrams" so that readers will be a  
bit clearer what Instaviz does. (Note that Instaviz the app itself  
still calls them graphs.)

Also the description has a trailing section where I'll add the list of  
websites and apps that support Instaviz.

The following languages are needed only (Apple only provides these  
languages for app store descriptions):

Dutch
French
German
Italian
Japanese
Spanish

Instaviz is diagram sketching for your iPhone.

When you were young, the grown-ups used to catch you doodling little  
circles and lines on the back of your exercise books or paper napkins,  
instead of paying attention to what they said. They didn’t realize  
that you need to sketch things out, how they relate to other things,  
in order to get them into your head and other people’s heads.

Much later, you learnt the grown-up names for these sketches — mind  
maps, concept maps, semantic networks, org charts, flowcharts, social  
networks, genomic hierarchies, E-R diagrams...

• Sketch out a rough shape. Instaviz magically transforms it into a  
neat ellipse, circle, rectangle, square, diamond or triangle.

• Sketch a link between two shapes. Instaviz quickly redraws the  
diagram with the most pleasing layout.

• Scroll the diagram by dragging with two fingers. Zoom in and out by  
pinching with two fingers.

• To edit the label, color or style of a shape or link, double-tap on  
it.

• To change the shape, sketch the new shape over the old one.

• To delete a shape or link, tap on it and shake the iPhone.

• To export the diagram, double-tap on the diagram background then  
choose Export Graph. You can export the diagram to box.net, iDisk  
(MobileMe) or any WebDAV server, in Graphviz DOT/GV, PDF, PNG and  
Visio VDX formats. You can also Preview the diagram to the Camera Roll  
or Saved Photos, or Email the diagram to any iPhone or Mac user.

• To import a new diagram, tap on the Import button at the main graphs  
list. You can import the diagram from box.net, iDisk (MobileMe) or any  
website, in the Graphviz DOT/GV format.

Instaviz is a whiteboard in your pocket. Throw away the exercise books  
and paper napkins, Instaviz will figure out the diagram for you.  
Brainstorm and conceptualize like you use pencil and paper, without a  
pesky interface getting in your way. Then with a couple of taps, share  
your diagrams with friends and colleagues through email and websites.

• Instaviz uses Recog, a new shape recognition engine. Trained on over  
2,500 sketches drawn by real users, Recog uses advanced fuzzy logic to  
recognize what you just sketched in a split second.

• Instaviz uses Graphviz as its automated graph layout engine. The  
industry standard for automated graph layout, Graphviz represents over  
18 years of research work at AT&T and won two Apple Design Awards in  
2004.

These apps and websites now support opening their diagrams in Instaviz:
