code & design

A fictional three-string design translated into French and rendered from the saved Sketch document — Real Sketch output: the same three text layers after pushing English copy, translating with AI, and applying French.

the workflow

Connect your content. Review every language.

Connect once, choose your content and languages, then translate and review in the same project. The steps below show how it works in your tool.

Select design text
Choose the text nodes you want to send from Sketch to your localization project.
select
Connect the project
Enter a project token in the plugin and verify the project before saving the connection.
connect

Push the selected source text, then translate and review the resulting project keys.
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.

Take your Sketch designs into another language without replacing the layers you already built. Push selected text, translate with your team, and apply a target locale to the same mapped layers.

What you can translate and deliver.
Surface	What to expect
Source and scope	selected text layers, written back into the layer text
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

Download the plugin ZIP, unzip it, and double-click transglot.sketchplugin to install it in Sketch 97 or later.
Create a Transglot project with its source and target locales configured.
Create a project access token with push, pull and manage abilities. Open Plugins → Transglot → Set token… and verify the connection.
Select a group or text layers, push the source text, translate with AI, then use Pull & apply a locale… to bring a target language into the design.
