Setup
Installation
First, you need to install the plugin from the Figma Community by clicking on the ”Open in…” or “Open in Dev Mode” button.
You can find the Tolgee plugin in Figma by clicking the Actions icon (shortcut CTRL + K or ⌘ + K) → “Plugins & widgets” in the toolbar, search for "Tolgee," and click Run. Alternatively, click the Figma button in the top left corner, then select Plugins → Manage Plugins… and search for Tolgee
Setup
After installing and launching the plugin, you need to insert an API key. If you don't have one, you can check out our documentation on how to generate an API key.
If you are using the self-hosted version, you can update the "Tolgee URL" field to the URL of your instance.
Then you need to click on Validate to validate the provided credentials.
After the credentials are validated, select the language of the Figma file, the default namespace for new keys (if you use namespaces), and whether to hide the namespace selector.
Settings
In this section, you can find how to use more detailed features of the plugin to for example omit numbers or text that does not need translating.
Ignoring Numbers and Certain Text
You can select which text nodes should be considered for translation. By default, Tolgee filters out the text nodes, whose name starts with the underscore "_" and the nodes that contain purely numbers. You can adjust these settings to your needs.
Then click Save, and you are now ready to use the plugin!
