New Feature: Skip translation of locked elements in Figma with Smartcat integration

We have added a new feature that allows users to skip the translation of locked elements within Figma. This enhancement is part of our ongoing effort to improve the Smartcat Figma integration, streamlining the translation process for design workflows.

With this update, you can now preserve specific locked text objects, such as brand names or fixed terms, ensuring they remain untranslated and in the original language during localization.

This offers greater control over the translation process, particularly when working with complex design projects.

Figma masks now available in Design Translation Live Preview

We have enhanced the Figma integration by adding support for Figma masks in Live Preview. Now, when you preview designs that use masking to show specific parts of an object or image, the Live Preview will accurately display them just as they appear in Figma. This improvement ensures a more precise, real-time visualization of your designs, allowing for better collaboration and feedback during design reviews.

Figma Plugin Enhancements

Fixed Undo Revert Translation Issue: Resolved a bug where translations reverted upon using the "Undo" function in Figma. This ensures that the translation process remains consistent, even after an undo action.

Improved Translation Syncing: Enhanced the synchronization flow of translations to eliminate issues where translations were only partially applied. This improvement guarantees a smoother and more complete translation update across the Figma project.

Frame Name Key Prefix Support: Introduced the capability to use the frame name as a key prefix in SLP projects. This addition helps streamline the organization and identification of translation keys, as shown in the screenshot with the sc1_test_key derived from the frame name "SC1."

The attached screenshot demonstrates the new feature, highlighting how the frame name ("SC1") is used as a prefix in the key (sc1_test_key) for the text object "Sample Text."

Akeneo integration update: Support for localizing inherited fields in product categories

We’re excited to introduce support for localizing inherited fields within product categories. Now, when you localize a field like "Description" for a specific product (e.g., "Coca-Cola 0.5l"), the translation will automatically apply to all other products inheriting that field within the same category (e.g., "Coca-Cola 0.33l"). This enhancement gives you greater control over localized content across related products, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
