Go to Plugin PageWhat is Phrase?
For digital products offered in global markets, translation has become an integral part of the user experience. But the people involved often struggle to be on the same page. UX copy shouldn’t be left for last, and neither should translating it into multiple languages.
Phrase is a Translation Management Solution with the whole team in mind. It’s a cloud-based platform that enables Designers, Copywriters, Product Managers, Developers and Translators to come together to create the best local user experience for global digital products.

Why Phrase and Figma?
Finally, you can build a bridge between Product Design and Translation teams by syncing texts between Figma and Phrase. Send design content from within Figma to Phrase in seconds so that your Translators can then start their work right away.
Let our plugin inform you when translations are ready so you can pull translated copy into Figma. Preview your designs in all your languages before handoff to Developers.
Give Translators proper context with automatically attached screenshots. Our plugin highlights exactly where each text element belongs. Increase your overall translation quality and reduce feedback loops.
