Why teams choose our Sketch translation plugin
Transform your design workflow with seamless translation integration that keeps your team moving fast.
Sync designs in seconds
Connect your Sketch files directly to Transifex without leaving your design environment. Our Sketch plugin pulls text automatically, so you never miss a string or waste time on manual exports.

Preserve your layouts perfectly
Watch your designs adapt beautifully to any language. Our Sketch integration handles text expansion, RTL languages, and complex layouts without breaking your carefully crafted designs.

Collaborate without chaos
Keep designers and translators in perfect sync. Updates flow both ways, so changes in Sketch appear instantly in Transifex, and completed translations land back in your designs automatically.

Ship global products faster
Cut weeks from your localisation timeline. While your team focuses on design, translations happen in parallel. Your Sketch app becomes a localisation powerhouse that scales with your ambitions.

What we deliver
How localisation fits into your Sketch design flow
See how translation integrates naturally into the way your team already works.
Pro tip: Use pseudo-translation to catch layout issues early. Our Sketch integration can generate longer placeholder text that shows how your designs handle text expansion before real translation begins.

Export automatically
Your Sketch plugin detects text changes and syncs them to Transifex without interrupting your creative flow.

Translate in parallel
Professional translators work on your content while you continue iterating on designs. No waiting, no delays.

Publish with confidence
Completed translations appear in Sketch with layouts preserved. Export final designs knowing they work perfectly in every target language.

How does the Sketch plugin connect to Transifex?
Install the plugin from the Sketch app store, then connect using your Transifex account. The setup takes under two minutes and requires no technical knowledge.
What happens to my existing Sketch files?
Nothing changes about your current files. The plugin works alongside your normal workflow, syncing text content when you choose to translate specific artboards or pages.
Can I preview translations before finalising?
Yes. Completed translations appear directly in Sketch, so you can see exactly how each language looks in your designs before exporting final assets.
Does the plugin work with Sketch components and symbols?
Absolutely. Our Sketch integration understands your component structure and updates text across all instances when translations are complete.
What languages does the plugin support?
All languages supported by Transifex, including RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew. The plugin automatically handles text direction and layout adjustments.
How does billing work for the Sketch plugin?
The plugin is free. You only pay for translation services through your Transifex account based on the volume of content you translate.
Can multiple team members use the same plugin?
Yes. Any team member with Sketch and a Transifex account can use the plugin. Permissions are managed through your Transifex workspace settings.
What if I need help setting up the integration?
Our support team provides setup assistance, and we offer onboarding calls for teams who want hands-on guidance getting started.
