Cleaning non-copy texts in projects

Improvement

Exciting product update!

We're thrilled to introduce a game-changing capability that's all about keeping your projects clean. With our latest release, Frontitude now automatically detects and hides non-copy elements within your projects.

Here's what you need to know:

  1. Maintaining cleaner projects: This new capability intelligently identifies non-copy elements, ensuring that your projects remain clutter-free and focused on what matters most—your UX content.
  2. What content is filtered out: The new algorithm efficiently filters out dates, numbers, emails, and other non-copy texts that often clutter your project workspace. This means you can spend more time on the creative aspects of your work and less time on manual cleanup.
  3. Easy retrieval: These filtered-out texts aren't going anywhere! You can always access these hidden items in the "Hidden Items" section within your projects.

We hope it will help you remove the clutter and maintain cleaner projects!

Define a unique key convention

New feature

You can now set your own key convention for any texts stored in your copy library and projects from your workspace settings.

A convention can be define by selecting key casing and a delimiter. Then, everyone on your team can keep a consistent key creation by being prompted with a warning if the key doesn't follow your team's convention.

JSON import improvements

Improvement

We are releasing some improvements to our JSON import feature, aimed at providing a more efficient content onboarding on the copy library:

  • Nested JSON Support: Import can now handle nested JSON structure.
  • Automatic Categorization: Instead of manually categorize hundreds of copy components, the new import automatically creates categories for keys containing nested objects, simplifying content management.

These enhancements are focused on improving the onboarding process for content coming from the codebase or localization systems.

Improvement
UX Writing Assistant
New feature

Introducing: Predefined instructions

You can now refine copy suggestions quickly by selecting instructions from a list, grouped by Tone, Length, and Element. Read this help guide to learn more about how to use it!

(Yet another) Plugin redesign

We redesigned the plugin (once again) according to the great feedback we have received from you. It's now easier to rewrite and apply suggestions in your Figma designs.

Prompt upgrade boosts success rate to 40%

Our engineering team has meticulously redesigned the rewrite logic which led to better copy suggestions. The plugin's success rate improved from 30% last month, to 40% today! It means that 40% of the suggestions are getting applied directly in the design or copied to the clipboard.

Improved auto-attach, import translations, and more!

Improvement

We're happy to share with you this new pack of improvements to streamline your Frontitude workflows and integration with your design, development, and localization processes!

 

Upgraded auto-attach mechanism 🔗

We understand the importance of seamless sync with your designs. Our team has worked tirelessly to improve the way it attaches new texts to existing copy components: Now, if you have multiple components with the same text, it uses the Figma component hierarchy to match it with the copy component that shares that same parent Figma component!

 

Screen names auto-update on sync 🔁

Our Figma plugin now syncs the latest frame names to Frontitude, unless they have been renamed previously. This keeps your Frontitude project in better sync with the design file.

 

Import translations from localization systems ⤵️

It is now possible to override existing text values, whether it is the original text or the translation. This lets you update translations in Frontitude, test them on the design, and soon preview them in Figma.

 

CSV export: Merge component instances ⤴️

When exporting projects into CSV files, you can now merge component instances together into one row. This means that you can have one row per text, even if it repeats in the project.

 

CLI improvements 💻

We released a few improvements and fixes to our Developer CLI:

  • Android XML format bugfixes - We fixed a few issues with variables and escaping characters.
  • When merged to the strings JSON file, keys are sorted alphabetically. This makes it easier to understand what keys were added or removed.

Metadata format in the CLI, general improvements, and bugfixes

Improvement
Developer handoff

📝 New “metadata” in the Developer CLI - The new format is now available as part of the Developer CLI’s “pull” command. Use it to get additional properties for each text fetched from Frontitude to sync it with other tools.

🔠 Keys sorted alphabetically - In the file export and developer CLI features, keys are exported sorted alphabetically (ascending) to give you a better overview of changes in your strings file.

General improvements

🎨 Quickly view text in design - We added a button at the top of the editing panel to allow you to quickly view the text in the design or list view. Switching from a filtered list view to design view is now super easy!

🔎 Attach texts to components using unique keys - Components can now be searched by their unique key when attached to a text in the Figma plugin or web app.

🔢 Sort screens - Now you can sort screens inside a project, alphabetically or by the time they were created. This allows you to maintain order when you use a numeric convention for the screen names in the design tool.

🧲 Turn off auto-attach - If you do not want texts to be automatically attached to similar components, you can turn off auto-attach from your workspace settings.

Bugfixes

🚥 Status indicators in translation mode - When filtering by status inside a project, indicators now appear in the left navigation bar to allow collaborators to find the relevant texts faster.

💎 Design View stabilization - Issues where the Design View displayed texts twice or misplaced texts were fixed. It also knows how to exclude hidden texts in Figma that were displayed before.

New integrations tab, improved Design View, edit tags in bulk, and more...

New feature
Improvement

⚒️ The new Integrations tab - This new tab in your workspace settings opens up an entire world of workflows! It allows you to integrate external tools into your Frontitude workflow. The first available integration allows you to use Frontitude's Developer CLI to automate the developer handoff. Soon, there will be many more available. We'd love to hear what integrations you'd like to see -- just hit Request next to the integration you wish to have.

✨‍ Improved Design View - We've improved the design fetching algorithm to produce more authentic designs in the Design View. With this update, texts that appear behind semi-transparent overlays in Figma (like in modals) will be embedded into the design and excluded from the project texts.

🏷️ Edit tags in bulk in projects - This allows you to add or remove tags to multiple texts in a project. Up until now, this feature was only in the library, and now it's available in projects as well.

📚 Delete variables - Delete unused variables from your workspace settings to make sure team members use the right ones. Once a variable is deleted, components that use it will have the curly-braced variable replacing the placeholder. For example, "Hello Wendy" will turn into "Hello {{firstName}}".

📝 Edit billing details - Now you don't have to contact us to update your billing details. We added a link to the Usage & Billing tab under your workspace settings so you can edit it all by yourself!

Improved text activity visibility, component suggestions, and additional updates:

Improvement

🚦Text activity log extended - You can now easily track the activities of each text in your projects, allowing you to see who did what and when. We have enhanced the visibility of the text's activity log by including the following events:

  • Text was attached to a component
  • Text was detached from a component
  • Text status was changed (New, Draft, Review, Final)
  • The unique key was modified

Text activity log extended

✍️ Component suggestions are now available for you at two distinct levels - suggestions at the project level and suggestions based on your workspace copy library. This will help you craft more targeted, consistent copy.

🏷️ Filter components by tags from the Developer CLI - Now you can filter components by tags when fetching content from Frontitude to your codebase using the Developer CLI. This can be used in number of use cases, like splitting your copy into different environments, products, and more.

Say hello to component suggestions: create components with a click ✨

Announcement
New feature

We are introducing component suggestions! This feature groups together similar texts from your projects, allowing you to create reusable components with just a click. ✨

Using component suggestions, you can upload your designs and componentize all your product copy in minutes. This means you can set up a full-blown copy library in no time, ready to be reused by other teammates!

How does it work?

1. Once you upload new copy to Frontitude or submit changes to your existing copy, Frontitude automatically groups together similar texts in the new Suggestions tab in your copy library.

 

2. You can choose to create a new component, or attach the text to an existing one with just a click.

 

3. All the created components will be automatically added to your copy library. ✨

Say hello to component suggestions

We strongly believe that product copy should be systemized, allowing editing and reusing existing texts easily. This is just the first step in bringing smart capabilities to your copy library management. Stay tuned for more automation coming very soon!

Navigation and editing improvements to the copy library ✨

Improvement

We added copy library improvements to provide you with a smoother editing and navigation experience. These updates are designed to help you manage your copy library at scale, making it easier to organize, access, and reuse your copy.

🔍 New component navigation bar - the copy library was redesigned so that you can find and reuse components faster! The new design is now aligned with the projects tab navigation style, giving a familiar experience feel.

New navigation bar in the copy library

☑️ Multiple component selection for bulk editing - you can now make bulk changes to multiple components in your library at once:

  • Change components status (New, Draft, Review, Final)
  • Add/remove component tags
  • Move components between categories
  • Delete multiple components at once

Simply hover over the components you’d like to edit, and click on the checkbox. Once you choose one component or more, the action bar will appear on your screen to provide you with the available actions.

We're introducing Plurals! 🔢 🥳 (and some more product updates)

Improvement
Announcement

There is a difference in the way plurals are handled between each language. In some languages, like English, plurals have two forms, whereas in others there are several forms or just one.

You can now create and store plural forms for copy components and automatically hand them off to developers using the Developer CLI!

Your entire team can benefit from using Plurals:

✍️ Writers and translators can ensure consistency in all plural forms of a copy component.

🎨 Designers can view all plural forms in the design.

👩‍💻 Developers can pass counter parameters instead of writing logic to display plural forms. Like all Frontitude developer features, Plurals is fully compatible with the i18next format.

To use plurals, create a copy component, add different forms (Frontitude supports all 6 plural forms) and send it to developers using Frontitude’s developer integration or export features.

Read the guide to learn how to use plurals step by step.

Wait, here are more updates:

  • Frontitude CLI now supports XLIFF format (V1.2 and V.2) and Android XML for variables and plurals.
  • Following Figma’s update of supporting entire sections, you can sync multiple frames to Frontitude with a click. Simply select a section in Figma, open the Changes tab in the plugin, and click sync. ✨

Multiple improvements to the Library tab in Figma ✨

Improvement

We’ve released multiple updates that will improve your experience when storing and reusing copy components in Figma.

Here’s what’s new:

🔠 You can use free text to search for a component by its value or its category name, instead of navigating between the categories.


📍 Category navigation and selection will remain open even moving between tabs in the plugin.


📚 You can now open the Library tab even if the Figma file is not connected to Frontitude.


🤝 We now support the sync of copy components with Figma variants (component sets).

General improvements:

🔄 The tab you last visited in the Figma plugin will now remain constant between plugin loads.


🖍 The design preview now supports custom fonts when choosing "View all instances" of a component.


🛠 A lot more under-the-hood improvements.

Try the updates in Figma.

Integrate dynamic content in your copy using Variables!

New feature

We’re happy to introduce Variables! You can now add dynamic content when writing copy in Frontitude, and integrate them as variables straight into the code.

The entire team can benefit from using Variables:

🎨 Designers can use mock content instead of variable placeholders in the design.

✍️ Writers get full ownership of the product content.

💻 Developers don’t need to define the variables but just send the variables in the code.

How does it work? When creating personalized copy, writers can mark specific parts of the text as dynamic content (for example: Hello {{firstName}}!). Once the copy is finalized, developers can fetch it, including the variables straight into the code without defining them themselves. Learn more

Fully compatible with the i18next framework

Like all Frontitude’s developer features, Variables is fully compatible with the i18n format. This means that developers can use the popular i18n library to fetch copy from Frontitude straight into their code.

Using Variables, your team can have a smoother, automated developer handoff. It works out of the box with our Developer CLI which you can use to connect your codebase with Frontitude.

Copy library improvements! 📚🆙

Improvement

We've made significant improvements to the Copy Library. Organizing your library is now easier than ever thanks to a new grouping system that allows you to navigate it quickly and ensure consistency.

What's new?

Four-level hierarchy support

Organize your copy components into up to four levels of categories. For example: Messages / Error / Form / Field required. This allows more flexibility in your content organization and allows you to group together different variations of the same copy component for example.

Category guidelines

Add content guidelines and notes to each category in your library. The guidelines will be visible once you reuse or create new components in your designs, to help you maintain consistency. For example, the Messaged / Error category can include these guidelines: “Clearly explain the situation and how it can be resolved. Don’t use overly dramatic words for simple errors.”

Category auto-suggest

When you create a new category, Frontitude will automatically suggest existing categories from your library to make sure you don’t create duplicates. It’s here to bring order to your copy chaos!

Category rename

Changed your mind about a category name? Now you can rename it without going through every component in the category.

Frontitude now supports your team’s custom fonts 💪

New feature
Improvement

Frontitude's web app now supports custom fonts! This allows you to see your copy incorporated into the designs in a much more accurate way.

Fonts come in different sizes and weights – even a few millimeters can break your sentence into 2 lines.🤯 As a writer, you must work with the same fonts the design team uses to make sure you’re aligned and on point with the copy you create.

In case Frontitude detects you’re not working with the same font as in the design, a pop-up warning will appear, letting you upload the right font.

Introducing: Frontitude's multi-language support for localization 🥳

New feature
Announcement

We’re excited to announce Frontitude’s multi-language support! This feature brings localization closer to design and removes the barriers between design teams and translators.

Enjoy significant benefits to your product localization process:

🎨  Translate with full context: Give your translators the full design context, and allow them to insert translations in the design without disrupting the design team's work.

✋  Avoid repeated translations: Translate once and reuse everywhere using Copy Components. Attach new copy to existing (translated) components and, voila, it's immediately translated! This can save you significant translation time and costs.

⏰  Shorten time to market: By providing translators and reviewers with the full context early at the design stage, translations can be tested even before a new feature is implemented. This means less translation errors at the development and QA stages.

Read our official announcement to learn more about this new addition!

Status and key indication in Figma🚦

New feature

Here's a small but powerful addition to our Figma integration 💪

You can now see copy workflow status in Figma's layer menu without having to open Frontitude's plugin!

What does it mean? Developers now can understand if the copy is final, and take its key (if they work with keys) directly from Figma, Product Managers can see which copy is ready and which isn't, and most importantly, team members will not judge your copy if it’s a work in progress!

To see workflow status in Figma, just set the copy status from Frontitude’s web app (available soon from the plugin) and click the refresh button under the plugin’s Changes tab. Simple as that!

Introducing: Changes tab (Figma plugin)

Announcement
New feature

Since we launched Frontitude's Figma plugin, we've been getting requests from our Figma users for supporting a more seamless writing workflow inside Figma.

We understand that many writers use Figma as their writing tool, but they still need a central place to store and maintain all of their product copy.

That's why we created the new Changes tab, that replaces the Export and Updates tabs, and will addresses these needs:

  1. It assists with a better writing workflow inside Figma by allowing you to track copy changes made by you and others, by comparing them to the last version in Frontitude.
  2. It makes it easier for you to sync Figma with Frontitude as your single source for copy. If you're writing in Figma, you can collect copy changes and push them to Frontitude in one click. If you're writing in Frontitude, you can quickly pull the latest copy into Figma.

Hide copy from Design View

New feature

In addition to the existing hide from List View, now you can hide copy from Design View as well!

This comes pretty handy when Design View displays texts that shouldn't be visible. Just click Hide > From all views and it will hide the text from the design on Frontitude, to give you a cleaner view.

And no worries -- hidings will only affect Frontitude, while the mockup in the design tool will remain untouched.

Sync your designs only with relevant copy

New feature

When you sync your designs with the latest copy, filtering copy changes by status can be quite useful.

For example, if you're a designer who wants to handoff your mockups to developers, you'd like to sync only the final copy. Another case is that as part of a design review process, you'd like to ensure that copy fits the design, therefore syncing only copy in review status.


To enable this filter, just click on the settings icon next to the Pull changes button at the bottom of the plugin, and choose what workflow status you wish to filter as part of the sync.

Pull updates for selection

Improvement
Desgin tool integration

When pulling updates back to the design tool, sometimes you just want to update a specific text element or screen, and not the entire file.

The pull mechanism is now modified to detect selection of any kind, whether it's a single text element, group, or entire screen (a frame or an art board, depending on your design tool).

This way, you can pull change only for any selection, or select nothing to pull changes for the entire design file.
