Sidebar
The left sidebar provides access to every section. At the top, it displays the name of the active model and its global counters (elements · relationships · views).

Interface language
ArchiSpark provides a fully translated interface in five languages:
| Language | Code | Selector |
|---|---|---|
| Français | fr | FR |
| English | en | EN |
| Español | es | ES |
| Deutsch | de | DE |
| Italiano | it | IT |
The language selector is available from the top bar (flag icon and language code).
The preference is saved in the browser (localStorage): it persists across
sessions and does not require a user account.
All interface elements are translated: navigation labels, section titles, action buttons, error messages, create/edit/delete forms, and ArchiMate layer names.
