Localizing app store screenshots no longer needs to be a tedious copy-paste process—PopTranslate lets designers instantly translate and replace text layers inside design tools, saving time and reducing errors.
Before, I had to copy and paste every string, search for translations online, and manually update each layer—slow and error-prone. Now, with PopTranslate, a macOS-native assistant built for the Apple ecosystem, my localization workflow is faster, smoother, and completely transformed.
Use Case: Instantly Translate Screenshot Text from Sketch/Figma
Before PopTranslate:
- Manually copy the text from your design;
- Open DeepL or Google Translate in a browser;
- Paste the text → copy the result → switch back to your design tool;
- Paste the translation → adjust layout and spacing.
With PopTranslate:
- Select the text directly in your design tool;
- Trigger PopTranslate via shortcut or pop-up menu;
- A translation window appears instantly with AI-generated results;
- Click once to replace the original text in your design.
This process reduces localization time by over 60%, with fewer interruptions and fewer mistakes.
To ensure translation accuracy, PopTranslate lets you compare outputs from multiple AI engines directly within the app. This ensures the most accurate and natural-sounding results for your screenshots.
Introducing PopTranslate
PopTranslate is a lightweight, macOS-native AI translation tool that integrates directly into your design workflow. It enables quick translation via keyboard shortcuts or Pop-up Menus, and supports multiple AI engines—including OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude. It also offers word definition, sentence explaination and rewriting.
Rather than replacing your design software, PopTranslate works alongside it, streamlining the translation process so you can focus on design.
