CopyDoc supports ChatGPT in two ways:
- ChatGPT API for automated translation and import inside the plugin.
- ChatGPT Prompt for a manual copy and paste workflow using the ChatGPT app.
Use ChatGPT API
The API workflow is the fastest option if you want CopyDoc to handle the full translation and import flow for you.
- Click the Localize Text button in CopyDoc.
- Choose ChatGPT API.
- Paste your OpenAI API key.
- Pick the model you want CopyDoc to use.
- Select the Figma frames and target locales you want to translate.
- Enable Use Markdown if your content includes rich text formatting that should be preserved.
- Click Translate & Import.
CopyDoc will send the selected frame text to ChatGPT for each locale, then automatically import the translated results back into Figma as cloned localized frames.
Use ChatGPT Prompt
The manual prompt workflow is useful if you prefer to run translation requests yourself inside ChatGPT instead of connecting an API key.
- Choose ChatGPT Prompt in the localization options.
- Select the Figma frames and locales you want to translate.
- Click Generate Prompt.
- Click Copy Prompt to Clipboard.
- Run the prompt in ChatGPT and make sure it returns raw CSV only.
- Paste the CSV response back into CopyDoc.
- Click Translate Figma Frames to import the translated content into Figma.
In the manual prompt workflow, you choose the ChatGPT model inside the ChatGPT app yourself. CopyDoc validates the pasted CSV before importing it.
