With the Crowdin plugin for Figma, you can use texts from Crowdin in your designs to save time for both designers and developers. These could include original or translated texts. If necessary, you can add new ones (e.g., dialog titles, button labels) and send them to translators in Crowdin.
To specify your Crowdin credentials in Figma, follow these steps:
To generate a new token in Crowdin, follow these steps:
To select the project you’d like to work with, click the drop-down menu in Settings > Select Crowdin Project, and select a project from the list. 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.
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 Figma in a click. Miután a szövegeket felhasználta a vázlataiban, automatikusan feltöltheti a címkézett képernyőképeket, hogy a fordítók láthassák azokat a Crowdinban.
After using the source strings from Crowdin in your designs, you can preview translations for these strings in Figma and upload screenshots for them to your Crowdin project.
You can add the strings that are already used in the designs or create and add completely new strings.
To add the same strings into multiple files in Crowdin, alternately select the needed files from the File drop-down menu.
If some frames contain hidden elements that should not be added to Crowdin, clear the Push hidden elements option.
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.
When using ICU strings in your design, you can set the placeholders’ values, and after adding such strings to designs, they will be displayed in a formatted view with the preconfigured values.
Once you used the needed ICU string from Crowdin in your design, you can configure its placeholders’ values.
When previewing translations for ICU strings in Figma, they will also be displayed in a formatted view if the values were preconfigured beforehand.
To simplify adding strings from Figma 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 Figma 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:

Preview translations from Crowdin for the strings used in the designs in Figma. You can preview translations in the new frames or the original ones. When previewing translations in the new frames, you can populate them with the actual translations or with string keys for further use by developers.
To preview strings populated with translations, follow these steps:
To preview strings populated with key names, follow these steps:
Use the Page 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 Figma.
You can send text for translation either from selected or all frames from a Figma 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 figma-plugin will be created. It will contain a subfolder named after your Figma file with HTML files for each frame inside. If needed, you can disable content segmentation in the plugin Settings so the long texts will not be split into sentences.

When the source files are uploaded to your Crowdin project, you can invite contributors to translate and proofread them.

You can synchronize texts between Figma and Crowdin projects whenever you want to test the translated copy inside Figma or generate multilingual assets.
To upload translated copies to Figma, follow these steps:

After uploading translations to Figma, the modified file will contain a separate frame with translations for each target language. Az újonnan feltöltött lefordított verziók nem írják felül a korábban feltöltött verziókat. Bármikor törölheti azt a lefordított példányt, amelyre már nincs szüksége.
If you’d like the newly uploaded translated versions to override the previously uploaded ones, open the plugin Settings and select Override existing translations.
