Lingolense — AI Translation & Localization

Lingolense is an AI-powered translation and localization plugin for design editors, including Figma, FigJam, Slides, Pixso, and Penpot. It allows designers to translate text layers into 45+ languages directly on the canvas, using DeepL and LLM routing based on each layer's role, such as button, heading, or caption. The tool is designed to work in context, so translations read naturally and fit the UI rather than being word-for-word replacements. The platform goes beyond simple translation by addressing layout safety. It offers one-click RTL mirroring for Arabic and Hebrew, overflow detection with per-language budgets, and automatic script-aware font swapping. These features help prevent common localization issues like text clipping or broken layouts before designs are handed off to development. Lingolense is non-destructive, meaning original text layers remain untouched while translated versions are created in place, as duplicates, or as language variables. Lingolense also includes glossary and translation memory features to keep brand terminology consistent. Designers can lock brand and product names so they are never translated, set per-language overrides, and reuse previously translated strings at no additional cost. Strings can be exported and imported as CSV, JSON, or XLIFF, making it easier to connect design work with engineering i18n pipelines. The product offers a free tier and paid subscription plans starting at $9 per month, with credits that never expire.
