Did you miss XTM Cloud’s Figma webinar last week? Don’t worry, we have you covered!

The XTM Connect Series is a collection of webinars hosted by XTM Xperts showcasing the different connectors available for XTM Cloud, including best practices, insights, and top tips on how to make the connectivity between your content system and localization technology better and more efficient.

In this edition of XTM Connect, XTM Xpert Grant Blackburn presents the Figma plugin for developers, and how it can make content instantly available for translation from Figma to XTM Cloud. In the past, selecting content for translation from design tools such as Figma was a long and tedious process, but thanks to the Figma plugin for localization, this process is now easy and automated. Some of the main benefits of deploying the Figma plugin for translation include:

  • Swift transfer of content to XTM for localization (whole page or individual frames)

  • Working in XTM Workbench with segment images from Figma for additional context

  • Checking translation queue statuses in Figma

  • Seamlessly importing translated content back into Figma

Importing content from the Figma plugin for translation doesn’t have to be a manual process. You can configure the settings in Figma to automatically import content, such as the one in your app’s user interface for example, within a time frame of your choice, and it will automatically send it for translation to XTM Cloud, making the end-to-end workflow even more efficient.

After watching our Figma webinar, you will be better equipped to leverage XTM Cloud for efficient project management and seamless integration with Figma. This webinar highlights the practical benefits of synchronizing your design and localization processes, ensuring a faster time-to-market, and maintaining brand consistency across global markets.
