I would like to develop a software process flow in Lucidchart with descriptions in both English and French, with a language selector process at the top where a reader would decide EN or FR and the process descriptions would change from Process Step EN data field to Process Step FR data field.  This way it would not be necessary to develop full mirror images in layers, rather each Process would have an English and French description and conditional logic would allow the user to toggle from one to the other.  The ongoing maintenance would be much easier given only one instance of each process.

A workaround would be to create a chart in each language and store them in different layers. To learn more about layers, please review this help center article. To see an example of how this is implemented, please review this community post. 


That would be very helpful and indispensable for my work! I need this feature for several languages.
