Skitse plug-in

With the Crowdin plugin for Sketch, you can use texts from Crowdin in your designs to save time for both designers and developers. Disse kan omfatte originale eller oversatte tekster. If necessary, you can add new ones (e.g., dialog titles, button labels) and send them to translators in Crowdin.

Use Cases

• Quickly generate multilingual creative assets.
• Oversætte modelscenarier og teste dem på forskellige sprog, før programmering påbegyndes.
• Stop using ‘Lorem Ipsum’, add real texts from Crowdin to your prototypes instead.
• Opret og upload kildestrenge fra dine designs til dit Crowdin-projekt. På denne måde kan uploadede strenge bruges af udviklere, hvilket reducerer tid brugt på udvikling.
• Upload tagged screenshots to your Crowdin project.

Later on, you can use the same drop-down menu to switch to another project if needed. Additionally, you can select the specific branch your content will be uploaded to.

UI Localization

Use the Strings tab when localizing UI and working on dynamic pages with your development and marketing teams. In this tab, you can add source strings from Crowdin to your designs in Sketch in a click. After the texts are used in the designs, you can automatically upload tagged screenshots for translators’ reference back to Crowdin.

Using Source Strings from Crowdin in Sketch

1. Open the Crowdin plugin for Sketch.
2. In the Strings tab, use the Search field to find the specific copy. You can search strings by source text, string identifier, or context.
3. Select the text layer you want to add text to and click on the needed string.

After using the source strings from Crowdin in your designs, you can preview translations for these strings in Sketch and upload screenshots for them to your Crowdin project.

Adding Source Strings from Sketch to Crowdin

You can add the strings that are already used in the designs or create and add completely new strings.

1. Open the Crowdin plugin for Sketch.
2. Select the needed string(s) on the artboards to add the strings used in the designs. Alternatively, skip this step if you want to add a new string.
3. In the Strings tab, click Add String.
4. I den dialog der dukker op, skal du udfylde de påkrævede felter og klikke på Gem.

To add the same string(s) into multiple files in Crowdin, alternately select the needed files from the File drop-down menu.

Added strings will be transferred to your Crowdin project and also will be displayed in the list of the Strings tab. You can edit or delete the strings from the same list anytime. The respective changes will also be applied to the strings in your Crowdin project.

Key Naming Pattern Settings

To simplify adding strings from Sketch to the Crowdin project, you can set up the desired key naming pattern for the source string identifiers in the plugin settings. The Crowdin plugin for Sketch will suggest the string identifiers for new strings based on the selected pattern. While adding new source strings, you can always edit the suggested identifier to the preferred look.

To select the key naming pattern, follow these steps:

1. Open the Crowdin plugin for Sketch.
2. Switch to Settings.
3. In the Key naming pattern section, select the preferred option from the drop-down menu.

Previewing Strings

To preview translations from Crowdin for strings that you used in the designs in Sketch, follow these steps:

Marketing Visuals Localization

Use the Translation tab to localize static pages, like brochures and banners. In this tab, you can send texts with context for translators to Crowdin and upload translated copies back to Sketch.

Sending Texts for Translation to Crowdin

You can send text for translation either from selected or all artboards from a Sketch file. Translators will work with those texts in the list view and use designs as an additional context for even higher translation quality.

In Crowdin, a root folder Sketch plugin will be created. It will contain a subfolder named after your Sketch file with HTML files for each artboard inside. If needed, you can disable content segmentation in the plugin Settings so the long texts will not be split into sentences.

To send Sketch designs for translation, follow these steps:

1. Åbn den relevante Sketch-fil.
2. Gå til Plugins > Crowdin.
3. In the Translation tab, Send Texts section, select content you’d like to send to Crowdin. Select Page or Artboard.

Når kildefilerne uploades til dit Crowdin-projekt, kan du invitere bidragsydere til at oversætte og korrekturlæse dem.

Uploading Translations from Crowdin to Sketch

You can synchronize texts between Sketch and Crowdin projects whenever you want to test the translated copy inside Sketch or generate multilingual assets.

To upload translated copies to Sketch, follow these steps:

1. Åbn den relevante Sketch-fil.
2. Gå til Plugins > Crowdin.
3. In the Translation tab, Get Translations section, select the target language you want to upload translations for. You can also Select All languages.
4. Select the content you want to preview in Sketch. Select Page or Artboard.

After uploading translations to Sketch, the modified file will contain a separate artboard with translations for each target language. De nyligt uploadede oversatte versioner vil ikke tilsidesætte dem, du tidligere uploadede. Du kan altid slette de oversatte kopier, du ikke længere behøver.

If you’d like the newly uploaded translated versions to override the previously uploaded ones, open the plugin Settings and select Override existing translations.
