Why Transifex is built for Figma translation
The Transifex–Figma plugin brings localization into your design process, so you can prepare production-ready layouts in any language before development begins.
See translations where they belong
Preview localized text directly inside your Figma designs. Check how each language fits, from short English text to expanded German strings or complex scripts.

Send and receive without leaving Figma
Push text layers, frames, or components straight to Transifex. Pull translated text back in seconds — no exporting, importing, or copy-paste.

Fewer post-release fixes
Identify and resolve truncation, overflow, or right-to-left alignment issues early. Prevent expensive layout changes after development.

Maintain brand consistency
Transifex AI uses your glossaries, Translation Memory, and style guides to ensure your tone and terminology stay consistent across every language.

How do I preview translated Figma strings?
With the Transifex–Figma plugin, pull completed translations into your designs and switch between target languages. This helps identify and fix layout or formatting issues before development.
Can I translate Figma components and text layers?
Yes. The plugin supports both, so all visible UI text is included in your translation workflow.
Does the Figma plugin support RTL languages?
Yes. Preview designs in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and other right-to-left languages to ensure correct alignment, spacing, and font rendering.
How does pseudo-translation work in Figma?
It replaces text with expanded or accented characters to simulate other languages, revealing overflow, truncation, or alignment issues early in the design process.
How do I sync translations between Figma and Transifex?
Push selected text to Transifex with one click. Once translated, pull it back into your design instantly, without file exports or imports.
Can I use machine translation in the Figma plugin?
Yes. Choose Transifex AI for brand-aware results or integrate MT engines like Google Translate or DeepL, combined with Translation Memory for consistency.
How are screenshots used for translation context?
Screenshots from Figma are automatically attached to each string in Transifex, giving translators a visual reference for improved accuracy.
What’s the setup process for the plugin?
Install it from the Figma Community, connect it to your Transifex account with an API key, and start sending content for translation in minutes.
