Alternative
A Lokalise alternative for translating designs — no TMS required.
Lokalise is a full translation management system you connect to Figma. If you just want to translate and localize designs on the canvas — RTL, overflow, glossary, and export — without standing up a TMS, Lingolense does it in one click.
Free to try · 45+ languages · Credits never expire
Localize on the canvas, not in a separate platform
With Lokalise you push strings to a TMS, manage projects, and pull translations back. Lingolense keeps everything in your design tool: select text, pick a language, and translate — with context-aware AI — right where you design.
- One-click AI translation in 45+ languages
- No external account, project setup, or sync to manage
- Context-aware engine for UI-appropriate copy
Still developer-friendly
Need to hand strings to engineering or an existing TMS? Export XLIFF, JSON, or CSV any time. You get design-stage localization without giving up developer-ready output.
- Export & import XLIFF / JSON / CSV
- True RTL mirroring for Arabic & Hebrew
- Overflow detection and do-not-translate glossary

Frequently asked questions
Can Lingolense replace Lokalise?
For teams that manage large, code-connected localization pipelines, Lokalise and Lingolense solve different jobs. But if your goal is to translate and localize designs quickly — with RTL, overflow, glossary, and export — Lingolense does it on the canvas without a TMS. You can still export strings to any TMS later.
