Achya: The Fastest Figma Localization Workflow

Achya is an open-source Figma plugin designed to eliminate the friction of internationalizing UI designs. By bridging the gap between Figma and AI language models like ChatGPT and Claude, Achya allows designers to localize entire page layouts in seconds rather than hours.

The Problem

Manually copy-pasting text from Figma to translation tools is slow, error-prone, and destroys design context. Most localization plugins either require expensive API keys for every team member or lock your data into proprietary ecosystems.

The Solution: Achya

Achya introduces a 30-second localization workflow that keeps you in control. Instead of forcing complex API integrations, it uses a smart clipboard-and-file-based system optimized for modern AI workflows.

🚀 Key Features

  • Smart Text Scanning: Instantly extract text from your current selection, the active page, or your entire document.
  • Workflow Management: Mark text as translate, dont_translate, or needs_review to stay organized during large-scale projects.
  • Side-by-Side Canvas Editor: Type and edit translations directly in the plugin panel with an auto-save feature that preserves your progress every 3 seconds.
  • Deep-Link AI Workflow: Send selected text to ChatGPT or Claude with a pre-formatted prompt. We handle the heavy lifting of structure; you just paste the result back.
  • Multi-Format Export:
    • TXT (AI-Optimized): Custom format that ensures AI models respect key/value pairs.
    • JSON: Ready for developer handoff.
    • Markdown: Perfect for project tracking and checklists.
  • Safe Apply Modes:
    • In-Place: Directly update existing frames.
    • Duplicate Page: Automatically generate “Homepage_DE”, “Homepage_FR”, etc., while keeping your original English designs untouched.
  • Placeholder Protection: Automatically detects and validates placeholders like {{name}}, %s, or {count} to ensure translations don’t break dynamic content.

Built for Designers & Developers

Achya is built with a local-first, privacy-first architecture. No account creation is required, and no data leaves Figma unless you choose to export it.

Whether you’re localizing a landing page for a new market or maintaining a multi-language component library, Achya provides the tools to do it faster and safer.

Open Source & Community Driven Achya is free and open source. Check out the github repository to contribute or see the technical implementation.
