Translated designs will be available as new pages for each of the target lanaguages.

Pseudo Translation

The Smartling Sketch plugin allows to create Pseudo translated pages directly in Sketch. Pseudo translation allows for mimicking the effect of translation on the layout of an image without actually doing the translation. The plugin provides for several variations of Pseudo depending on the languages needed for translation:

Chinese, Japanese and Korean reduce the size of the text from 30% to 50% in the page while the other options increase the size from 15% to 50%.

Select Pseudo translate page.... Pick desired option for pseudo translation. The plugin will create new pages for pseudo translated designs.
