# How to Localize App Store Screenshots Efficiently with PopTranslate

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:**

1. Manually copy the text from your design;
2. Open DeepL or Google Translate in a browser;
3. Paste the text → copy the result → switch back to your design tool;
4. Paste the translation → adjust layout and spacing.

### **With PopTranslate:**

1. Select the text directly in your design tool;
2. Trigger PopTranslate via shortcut or pop-up menu;
3. A translation window appears instantly with AI-generated results;
4. 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 explanation and rewriting.

Rather than replacing your design software, PopTranslate works _alongside_ it, streamlining the translation process so you can focus on design.
