Labelizer Sketch Plugin

What is it ?

The plugin provides a mean to extract all the labels presents in your sketch page. Once extracted, those labels can be edited in a table which can then be imported in the page. This provides an easy way to translate a design. The table consists of a set of key-value defined as follow

• ArtBoardName__Symbol_fieldName
• ArtBoardName__Symbol
• ArtBoardName__fieldName (case of text)
• ArtboardName__sharedName (explained later on).

You can share your translation by exporting/importing them in JSON or CSV format. This plugin was create with the idea to improve the process between Designer/Copywriter/Developer.

By using clear names for sketch elements, everyone involved can clearly understand what element stand for and the transition from one party to another is improved.

How ?

The plugin will go through each artboards present in the sketch page. Be sure to provide a proper name to your elements, that name will serve an identifier for the labels It will retrieve the text of the following elements:

• Artboard
• Symbol
• Text
• MasterSymbol

A name precedede with [x] will be skippe during the extraction.

Shared Name

Currenlty there is a short list of common names, these will be shown only once in the table.
