Design-stage localization

Guides

If you use components from a library
- Export components to Lokalise project first
- Use Auto-link existing translations when exporting component instances
Give considerable thought to your key naming pattern:
- Consider a custom one if required (e.g. [%Artboard_Name][%Element])
- Ensure all team members use it consistently
- Use key names that work for multiple platforms if necessary
Only export to Lokalise screens requiring translation
- Use the feature to exclude non-translatable elements (numbers, dates, etc.)
- Consider batching exports and splitting pages into smaller groups (e.g. one flow per Figma file)
- Keep parent frames/sections under 16Kx16K dimensions
Export wisely
- Use the Auto-link existing translations for exporting content without creating new keys
- Use Merge duplicates to avoid multiple key creations for identical content
- Avoid using Auto-link and Merge duplicates options if needing different keys for each Figma content item
