Localization Automate

About this plugin

Localization Automate helps product and localization teams manage UI copy at scale.

Use a spreadsheet-driven workflow directly in Figma:

- Load Google Sheets data into an in-plugin table.

- Sync selected text layers to selected sheet cells.

- Translate source text into multiple target language columns.

- Generate StringKeys for localization.

- Apply StringKey annotations in batch to selected text layers.

Best for teams maintaining multilingual UI content with a single source-of-truth spreadsheet.
