XD files for Translation

[Whispering_practice5C82]

HI Community,

Hope all is well.

Could please help and let me know how can i prepare the XD file for translation?  The file format needed is xliff.

As in figma, we do have a plugin to export it for translation but I am looking if I can do anything similar for XD.

Hi @Whispering_practice5C82, hmm I can't see any plugin for that specific purpose but as I see in this conversation: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd-discussions/how-to-export-xd-content-for-translation/td-p/10... some workarounds could be thanks to @Kenneth Kawamoto and @Ares Hovhannesyan :

"Perhaps you can utilise Google Sheets plugin <https://googlesheetsforadobexd.impekable.com/>"

"you can export pdf files then upload them into google translate."

Hope this helps!

Thanks @AkinGn for your inputs

Thank you for flagging @AkinGn 
I've never worked with XLIFF myself. I have seen a plugin that exports XD file to XML though. From then on it should not be hard to translate the XML to XLIFF since both are basically XML.

Makes sense @Kenneth Kawamoto, sounds like the best workaround right now!

Hi @Kenneth Kawamoto 

Hope all is well and good.

Could you please help me to have more insight on the plugin that can be used to export the XD to XML

[Kenneth Kawamoto]

I haven't done this myself as I've never needed to export to XML - but Google came back with these:

Hope these will get you started.
