The Figma localization plugin for global designs

You can import translations from Lokalise to Figma with one click and switch to the desired language to preview translations in every language.

You can either select what you want to push or you can hide unnecessary elements from Figma designs.

Yes, simply push the updated designs and check the option to “update screenshots”

Yes, you can if the key is not yet created in Lokalise. To achieve that, simply adjust the key names before exporting to Lokalise.

The most common case is missing fonts. Specifically, if a Figma file uses a font that is not available on your local PC, you might run into issues with pushing and pulling. The solution is to make sure you have all the necessary fonts locally available.

Unfortunately, no. Figma does not support plugins in view-only mode. You’ll need a seat with editor access.

Yes, you can choose the existing keys to link your text fields to. This can be done manually or by using the auto-link to existing translations feature before exporting text fields. Please note that the latter will not work if the text fields and the existing keys have different content (in this case manual linking is your only option).

Enable auto-link to existing translations by checking the box in your settings so strings in Figma are matched to existing translations in your Lokalise project. Please note that for this feature to work, your existing keys should have the same platform (Web, Android, iOS, or Other) as the one chosen in Figma.

You’ll need to check Merge duplicates in your settings if you have elements with the same text in Figma. That way you can link them to a single new key in Lokalise.

The Lokalise plugin for Figma is the best option for automating screenshot uploads from Figma to the localization tool. The plugin automatically sends UI screenshots from Figma to Lokalise, so translators get visual context without manual exporting. Additionally, the Screenshots feature links screenshots to translation keys, so each string stays connected to the exact screen it comes from.

Figma plugin for Lokalise is the top option that supports real-time text resizing when previewing localized designs. You can pull translations into Figma designs in seconds, and toggle between languages to check design flexibility. Figma handles real-time resizing through text resizing settings like Auto width and Auto height, and Auto layout resizes containers based on content. Lokalise adds control by letting teams set character limits per key.

You can use the Lokalise Figma plugin to instantly check text expansion in Figma, across multiple languages. This plugin pulls translations directly into Figma so teams can preview how layouts hold up across many target languages before development.
