The Lilt Figma Connector allows you to:      • Send Figma files to Lilt for localization      • Apply translation memories for each locale      • Choose the translation method      • Receive completed translations directly in Figma For the first time, customers who use Lilt and Figma can also decide between two translation methods to use when localizing designs - Instant or Verified.

For high fidelity designs, Verified Translation sends your designs to Lilt, where human linguists translate, review, and approve your newly localized designs before sending them back to your Figma instance.
