FAQs

How does the Figma translation connector work?

The connector allows you to select text elements in Figma and send them directly to XTM Cloud for professional translation. Once translated, the localised content syncs back to Figma where you can preview it in context and make design adjustments before development begins.

Which file types does the Figma localization plugin support?

The plugin works with standard Figma design files and supports all text layers within your designs. You can translate UI strings, button labels, navigation text, and any other text elements in your Figma projects across multiple languages simultaneously.

Can I preview translations in my actual Figma designs?

Yes, the integration includes in-context preview functionality. After translation is complete, you can view the localised text directly within your Figma layouts to check text expansion, design fit, and overall user experience before passing designs to development teams.

Do I need technical knowledge to use this Figma app?

No technical expertise is required. The integration is designed for designers and product managers to use independently. Simply install the plugin, connect to your XTM Cloud account, select the text you want to translate, and the system handles the rest of the workflow automatically.
