Overall interaction

From Figma to Command Center Localyzer

From the Figma plugin, strings are sent to an existing Command Center Localyzer project's repository. Those strings are stashes in a repository under a top level directory called locales, a sub-directory called en (if English is the source locale), and in a file called translation.json: so

• locales/en/translation.json

The Command Center Localyzer project leverages the overall functionality for any other Command Center Localyzer projects, such as access, email notification, TMS, analysis, translation, etc.

From Command Center Localyzer to Translation

As a Localyzer project, the translation.json file can be sent for translation, like any other projects. Best is to keep two letters locales, such as ja for Japanese/Japan or fr for French/France. The translated files will be stashed in the repository under their respective locale directory, for example

• locales/fr/translation.json
• locales/ja/translation.json

From Command Center back to Figma

For those strings which were passed from Figma to Localyzer and were translated, the Figma plugin will retrieve those translations and display the page in that locale. Those strings which were not translated will show in the source locale.
