Alternative
A Localizely alternative for localizing designs in the editor.
Localizely’s Figma plugin connects your designs to a Localizely project. Lingolense localizes the design directly, with AI translation, RTL mirroring, overflow detection and a glossary, in Figma, Pixso and Penpot.

On-canvas localization in one plugin
Lingolense translates selected text in place, mirrors layouts for right-to-left languages, flags strings that no longer fit and keeps brand names untouched, so designers can review every language before handoff.
- Context-aware AI translation (DeepL + AI)
- True RTL mirroring and script-aware fonts
- Overflow detection and do-not-translate glossary
- XLIFF / JSON / CSV export and import
Where Localizely is the better fit
Localizely is a translation management platform for software teams. If your strings, translators and releases are managed there, its plugin keeps designs aligned with that project. Lingolense is the lighter, design-first option.
