Alternative
A POEditor alternative for designers who translate on the canvas.
POEditor’s Figma plugin moves design text into a POEditor project for translation. Lingolense translates and localizes the design itself, with RTL mirroring, overflow checks and a glossary, and exports strings when you need them.

Translate the design, not just the strings
With a localization platform, text leaves the design, gets translated elsewhere and comes back. Lingolense keeps the loop on the canvas so you see the translated layout immediately, mirrored for RTL and checked for overflow.
- One-click AI translation into 45+ languages
- True RTL mirroring for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu
- Overflow detection with per-language budgets
- XLIFF / JSON / CSV export and import
Where POEditor is the better fit
POEditor is a translation management platform: collaborative translation, translator invites and integrations with code repositories. If strings already live there, keep it as your source of truth and use Lingolense for design-stage localization.
