What’s new in February: Make your Figma designers punch the air with happiness (and keep ALL keys linked), and make merging branches seamless for all project sizes

Great news for our Figma community

You can copy and paste Frames or Artboards without having to manually link keys.

This means you can iterate quickly, ensure consistency, and save valuable time. 

What's changing with our Figma plugin?

All translation keys will be linked when duplicating design elements. This means:

  • When you copy and paste Frames or Artboards, all keys will remain linked
  • When you duplicate an entire page, all translation links are preserved
  • When you copy elements or components to another page, the links stay intact

Why this matters

This update eliminates the tedious process of manually re-linking translation keys after duplication, directly improving:

  1. Workflow efficiency: No manual work reconnecting translations 
  2. Design consistency: Reduced risk of missing translated elements
  3. Team collaboration: Smoother handoffs between design and localization

This enhancement is being rolled out platform-wide this week. There's nothing you need to do to activate it—the functionality will automatically be available in your Figma workspace.

Simply duplicate your designs as you normally would, and you'll notice that translation keys remain connected without any additional steps.

We want your feedback

As with any update, we're eager to hear about your experience. Have questions about how this works with your specific workflow? Notice any unexpected behavior? Let us know through our feedback channels.

Happy design localization!

Seamless branch merging regardless of project size

We've implemented a data compression solution that means you can now merge branches for larger projects (such as those with 10,000+ translation keys across dozens of languages), without any problems.

This fix ensures that branch operations run smoothly regardless of project size, eliminating any roadblocks. Our engineering team will continue optimizing this process in upcoming releases to further enhance performance for projects of all sizes.
