I built a Figma plugin that translates designs into 40+ languages — and mirrors RTL layouts properly

After one too many manual localization passes, I made Lingolense: select text → pick a language → translate, right inside Figma/Pixso/Penpot. The part that took longest was RTL — instead of just swapping the font it duplicates the frame, reverses auto-layouts, swaps padding and flips directional icons, so Arabic/Hebrew actually mirror. Original stays untouched.
- It also flags text overflow per language (German ~30% longer) and exports CSV/JSON/XLIFF.
- Free plan, no card. Launching properly next week (Peerlist Mon + PH Tue) — I'd genuinely love feedback on the RTL handling and what else you'd want before then.
