review
Apply a target locale
Pull the locale and apply its translated text to the mapped layers. Review the resulting layout.
apply

Pulled translations are applied to the mapped text layers in your open design.

what moves

What you can translate and deliver.

The panel pushes selected text nodes up and writes each pulled locale back onto the same nodes, matched by a key stored on the node. It installs from source today rather than from the marketplace, and Adobe has XD in maintenance mode, which is worth weighing before you build a workflow on it.

What you can translate and deliver.
Surface	What to expect
Source and scope	selected text nodes, written back onto the same nodes
Translated output	Pulled translations are applied to the mapped text layers in your open design.
Keep in mind	The plugin works with selected text nodes. Review font availability and layout after applying a target locale.

get connected

A few steps to your first connection.

Follow your tool’s setup below: add the connection, choose what to sync, and try it with a small set of content. Your team can keep working in the tools they already use.

What you need

a project deploy token, verified before it is saved.

A Transglot project with its source and target locales configured.
Save credentials in the connection settings so your team can work without copying secrets between files.
Hosted API access requires a paid Transglot plan. AI translation uses your workspace’s word allowance.

Create your project

Request the Adobe XD plugin package from Transglot.
Install it through Adobe XD’s local plugin or development installation flow.
Create a project access token with push and pull abilities, then verify the connection in the plugin.
Select text nodes, push the source text, and pull a target locale back into the design.
