About this plugin

PageFlow Translator – Your Complete Figma Translation Solution

PageFlow Translator is your comprehensive Figma plugin for translating designs across 250+ languages, empowering designers to create multilingual interfaces without ever leaving their workspace. Powered by Google Translate and requiring zero external APIs, this plugin simplifies the entire translation workflow from selection to preview, making global design collaboration faster, more secure, and more accessible than ever before.​

How to Use PageFlow Translator

Using PageFlow Translator requires just four simple steps to transform your English designs into any target language:​

1. Select Your Frame or Component – Click on the frame, artboard, page, or individual text layer you want to translate within your Figma file. You can select a single button label, an entire screen, or multiple pages simultaneously depending on your translation needs.​

2. Launch the Plugin – Right-click on your selection, navigate to Plugins in the context menu, and select PageFlow Translator from your installed plugins list. The plugin interface opens directly within your Figma workspace, maintaining your design context throughout the translation process.​

3. Choose Your Target Language – Open the dropdown menu within the plugin interface and select from over 250 supported languages, including widely used options like Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Italian, and many regional dialects and less common languages. The comprehensive language support ensures you can design for virtually any global market.​

4. Execute Translation – Click the "Translate" button and wait for the plugin to process your content using Google Translate's powerful translation engine, which typically completes within seconds depending on content volume. The plugin instantly translates all text layers within your selection while maintaining design structure and formatting.

Advanced Translation Features

Layer-Level Translation Control – PageFlow Translator intelligently processes all text layers within selected frames, automatically detecting and translating every piece of visible text while maintaining your typography hierarchy, text styles, and overall design structure throughout the translation process. The plugin respects your design system, preserving font weights, sizes, colors, and alignment properties so translated versions match your original specifications.​

Who Benefits from PageFlow Translator

Design Professionals

UI/UX Designers working on global products benefit immensely from PageFlow Translator's ability to visualize designs in multiple languages during the design phase rather than after development. This early-stage translation testing helps identify spacing constraints, typography issues, and layout adjustments needed for different writing systems including right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, as well as character-intensive languages like Chinese and Japanese. By catching these issues in Figma, designers avoid costly post-development revisions and ensure their interfaces work beautifully across all target markets.​

Product Designers creating mobile apps, web applications, or software interfaces use the plugin to test how their designs scale across markets before committing to final specifications. The ability to preview translations directly in Figma saves countless hours compared to traditional mockup-export-translate-review cycles that involve multiple tools and tedious copy-pasting. Product designers can now iterate on global design decisions in real-time, ensuring every market receives an optimal user experience from day one.​

Freelance Designers serving international clients leverage PageFlow Translator to deliver multilingual design options quickly, showcasing how branding and messaging adapt to different languages without requiring separate translation services or external vendors. This capability allows freelancers to offer comprehensive localization services as part of their design packages, increasing their value proposition and enabling them to compete for international projects.​

Product and Project Teams

Product Managers use translation previews to validate design decisions with stakeholders in different regions, ensuring that product messaging resonates appropriately before development begins. The plugin enables rapid prototyping of localized experiences for user testing and market validation, allowing product teams to gather feedback from international users using realistic, translated prototypes rather than English-only mockups. This early validation reduces the risk of launching products that don't meet local market needs or expectations.​

Localization Specialists working with design teams utilize PageFlow Translator to quickly identify potential localization challenges early in the design process, such as insufficient space for longer translations, layout issues with right-to-left languages, or cultural considerations for imagery and color. This proactive approach reduces costly post-development revisions by surfacing constraints before engineering resources are invested. Localization experts can provide actionable feedback during design reviews, ensuring designs are built for global success from the start.​

Marketing Teams creating campaign materials, landing pages, or promotional designs benefit from instant translation capabilities to visualize how headlines, calls-to-action, and marketing copy appear across target markets. Marketing professionals can quickly test how campaign messaging translates culturally and visually, identifying potential issues with tone, length, or cultural relevance before committing to production. The ability to preview localized marketing materials accelerates campaign launches and ensures consistency across all markets.​

Development and Collaboration

Front-End Developers receive design handoffs that already account for translation considerations, reducing back-and-forth with designers about layout adjustments needed for different languages. The translated Figma frames serve as accurate reference materials during implementation, providing developers with clear visual specifications for how interfaces should appear in each supported language. This comprehensive handoff improves development efficiency and reduces the need for design clarifications during the implementation phase.​

Design System Managers use the plugin to test component libraries across languages, ensuring that buttons, form fields, navigation elements, and other reusable components accommodate variable text lengths appropriately. By translating design system documentation and component examples, system managers can validate that their patterns work globally and provide guidelines for designing with localization in mind. This testing identifies which components need redesign to better support international content before they're widely adopted.​

International Collaboration Teams working across time zones and geographies leverage PageFlow Translator to communicate design concepts in multiple languages, breaking down language barriers within distributed teams. Global teams can share Figma files with regional stakeholders who can view designs in their native languages, improving feedback quality and ensuring everyone understands design intent regardless of English proficiency. This inclusive approach to design collaboration improves team alignment and decision-making quality.​

Translation Quality and Considerations

PageFlow Translator leverages Google Translate's advanced machine learning algorithms to provide contextual translations that understand common UI patterns, technical terminology, and digital interface conventions. The translation engine recognizes standard UI elements like buttons, form labels, navigation items, and status messages, delivering translations that feel natural in digital product contexts. While machine translation delivers rapid results ideal for design testing, layout validation, and prototype creation, teams should engage professional translators for final marketing copy, legal content, terms of service, privacy policies, and customer-facing text requiring cultural nuance and brand voice consistency.​

The plugin excels at helping designers identify layout challenges, test component flexibility, validate spacing assumptions, and visualize multilingual interfaces during the design phase when changes are quick and inexpensive. This early-stage translation testing dramatically reduces expensive post-development localization work by surfacing design constraints, text expansion issues, and layout limitations before engineering investment begins. Designers can confidently hand off designs knowing they've been validated across multiple languages, reducing the risk of discovering localization problems during QA or after launch.​
