Figma design in English.
Every UI string localized for every market.

Extracting UI strings from Figma, running them through translation tools, and pasting output back manually breaks every release cycle. Claude extracts every UI string from your Figma file via MCP, Lara Translate localizes them with your product terminology enforced, and writes them back to every design layer.

Localized design file

From Figma design file to localized UI strings written back to every layer.

Claude reads your Figma design file via MCP and extracts every UI string across all layers and components: navigation labels, button copy, form placeholders, error messages, and tooltip text. Lara Translate localizes each string with your product glossary enforced. The localized strings are written back to the corresponding Figma text nodes, ready for developer handoff.

1

Ask Claude to read the Figma file

Claude connects to the Figma design file via MCP and extracts every text node, navigation labels, CTA copy, form placeholders, error messages, tooltips, and empty states, along with the layer name and component context for each string.

Prompt used:"Read all text nodes in this Figma dashboard file. Extract every UI string with its layer name and component. Translate all strings into German and French using Lara Translate with Faithful style and the product UI glossary. Write the translated strings back to duplicate German and French frames in the same Figma file."

Figma returns all 145 UI strings with layer context

Figma returns all 145 text nodes organized by component and layer, button labels in the navigation component, placeholder text in the form component, error strings in the alert component. Layer context is preserved so translated strings are written back to the correct nodes.

Lara Translate localizes every string for each market

Lara Translate localizes all 145 strings into German and French using Faithful style, exact meaning preserved, product terminology enforced via glossary. UI-specific terms are handled precisely: Save changes becomes the approved German UI verb, not a literal translation that violates the platform's design language.

Claude writes translated strings back to the Figma file

Claude uses the Figma MCP server to write all translated strings back into two duplicate frames, one for the German design, one for French. Each string lands in the correct text node, in the correct component, with layout preserved. The design team receives two localized design files ready for handoff.

Why copy-pasting Figma strings into a translation tool is not a localization workflow

Manual extraction means copying each text node from Figma, pasting it into DeepL or ChatGPT, copying the output, and pasting it back into the correct layer, repeated for every string in every component, for every language. For a 145-string dashboard with 8 components, that is hours of work before the design team can even check if the layout holds. Lara Translate applied via Claude MCP makes the entire operation a single prompt: file in, localized file out, strings in the correct nodes.

What makes localized UI strings production-ready for developer handoff.

UI strings that break component layouts or use inconsistent terminology are a QA problem, not a localized design. These four properties prevent that.

UI terminology consistent across every localized layer

Component names, design token labels, and product terminology stay consistent across every localized Figma layer. Translation memory reuses your approved UI phrasing.

Fluid for UI copy. Faithful for handoff annotations.

Fluid for user-facing copy where natural readability matters. Faithful for engineering handoff notes and technical spec annotations where terms must not be paraphrased.

UI string function preserved without paraphrase

A button label or error message carries a specific interaction function. You pass the component context and audience, and Lara Translate localizes accordingly.
