💡 How to manage translation files with Figma and Lokalise

“Lokalise has helped us improve app translation quality and UX by 80%.”

Guthrie Watson

Head of Design (UX)

“Thanks to the ‘duplicate’ feature in the Lokalise plugin for Figma, we went from 10 hours to 1 hour of task management time spent on localizing a new feature. That’s a 90% faster localized feature rollout.

Tip: No translations yet?
No problem

Instead of waiting for translations, use placeholder text to simulate text in other languages. For example, “account settings” might become [!!! Àççôûñţ Šéţţîñĝš !!!]). Did you know that when translating from English to German text can expand by up to 35%?!
