Adapt to international markets

Make users across the world feel like your product was created in their native language. With Phrase, you can do that in a cost-efficient way.

Localized designs for user tests

No more copying and pasting translation in your designs. Sync translations from Phrase to Figma or Sketch with one click. That way, you have designs ready in all languages for your user tests.

No more design breaks

Sync all translations to your design tool and check for layout breaks due to overly long wording. This saves developer time as errors are caught early on and don’t need to be corrected in the live product.

Perfect translation quality

UX translation requires a lot of context—text elements are typically short and can be translated in many ways. Phrase’s design integrations prevent nonsensical translations by providing perfect context—screenshots of the designs, for example, are visible to translators working in the editor.

Local time, currency, and measurements

We are using the Figma plugin in Phrase Strings to give translators more contextual information. Showing translators where their translations will appear while they work helps them provide the most natural and accurate translations possible.

Frequently asked questions

Here to field your questions on multilingual UX

Designers connect to Phrase via the Figma or Sketch integration. They can work 100% from their design and don’t need to use the Phrase translation interface. They can push source copy to Phrase and pull finished translations with one click. The copy created for the designers is later re-used by the developer, who then implements it in the code.

Yes. With our design integrations, designers can set a character limit for each text box which will be synced to Phrase. Within Phrase, you can then decide whether this limit should be enforced strictly or whether there should just be a warning displayed to the translator when exceeding this limit.

By syncing translations to your design tool, you can quickly create different versions of your designs to test them in your target market. If you decide to create a new version of your user interface for right-to-left languages, Phrase supports that just as smoothly as it does for left-to-right languages
