About this plugin

Try out Gleef

Parrot works as intended but we don't have the capacity to improve Parrot at the moment. The Gleef team's goal is to build a better Parrot with a full team behind them.

Parrot remains working as is. Nothing is shutting down, everything runs locally in your Figma file.

Parrot simplifies the translation management process right within Figma. If you deal with multilingual design projects and want to streamline your translation workflow, this plugin is for you! 

Key Features:

Design in Different Languages: Create and manage multiple language versions of your designs within your Figma file. Assign unique message to design elements and update them directly within Figma. Say goodbye to swiching interfaces for text and translation managment - all right within figma.

Machine Translations: Translate your designs with one click using our built-in machine translations. The first 100 translations are included for free, and additional translations can be purchased on demand. Save time and ensure accuracy with quick and efficient machine-generated translations.

Import from i18Next, Android and iOS: Seamlessly import existing messages from Android and iOS projects or i18Next JSON format to jumpstart your localization efforts.

Export with Ease: Effortlessly export your translated content to Android and iOS projects for a smooth handoff to developers. i18Next and CLI support is also coming soon!
