# Translate with AI > Add target languages, draft translations with AI directly on the Figma design, and steer the model with your glossary, tone, and project context. _Source: https://kopimark.com/docs/guides/translate-with-ai/_ KopiMark drafts translations directly on the canvas. The AI picks up your project's tone, your glossary, and the surrounding design context — so the output is closer to "good first draft" than to a literal word-for-word swap. This guide covers the three things you need to know: adding a language, running a translation, and steering the model. ## 1. Add a target language Languages are project-level. Open the project, then go to **Project Settings → Languages**. 1. Click **Add language** and pick a target locale (e.g. `fr-FR`, `de-DE`). 2. Optionally rename it for display — useful if you ship one set of copy to multiple regions. 3. Save. The new language now appears in the editor's language switcher and in the page-grid filters. ## 2. Switch the editor to that language In the editor toolbar, open the **language switcher** and pick your target. The canvas re-renders with whatever translated copy already exists; untranslated nodes fall back to the source text in a slightly muted tone, so it's easy to see what still needs work. > _[image placeholder: Editor toolbar language switcher dropdown listing the project]_ ## 3. Draft translations with AI You can translate one node at a time or in bulk. ### One node at a time 1. Click a text node on the canvas with the target language active. 2. In the side panel, click **Translate with AI**. 3. KopiMark generates a draft using your glossary, project context, and any tone notes. The draft lands in the editor as a normal revision — review it like any other edit and tweak as needed. ### Multiple nodes at once 1. Open the **Bulk actions** panel (in the editor's right rail). 2. Choose **Translate**. 3. Pick the language(s) and the scope: current page, selected nodes, or everything untranslated. The progress bar shows "Translated: X / Y" as it goes, with errors counted separately if any fail. Bulk runs are budget-aware — KopiMark stops cleanly if you'd exceed your plan's AI translation allowance and shows what remains. > **AI translations are metered per month.** Free includes 50 / month, > Starter 1,500, Team 5,000, Business 15,000. The counter resets on your > billing renewal date. See [Plans and > limits](/docs/reference/plans-and-limits/). ## 4. Steer the model Three places to make the AI sound more like your brand: ### Project translation settings **Project Settings → Translation** is where you set: - **Product context** — one paragraph describing what your product is. Used as a system hint on every translation. - **Tone** — short notes like "warm, second-person, no exclamation marks". The model treats these as constraints. - **Glossary toggles** — which glossary terms apply to this project. These settings apply to every AI translation in the project. Tweak them and re-run a single node to see the effect before bulk-translating. ### Workspace glossary Bigger picture: your **workspace glossary** (Settings → Glossary) holds terms shared across every project — brand names, product names, words that should *never* be translated. The AI honours these as hard constraints, not suggestions. Glossary terms can specify per-language translations or be marked as "keep in source language" (the typical choice for a brand name). ### Per-cell context For a single tricky string, the editor's translation side-panel has a **Context** field where you can paste a one-line hint just for that node. It's a great way to disambiguate UI labels where the source is too short for the model to guess (e.g. *"Save"* meaning *commit a change*, not *rescue*). ## 5. Review and approve Translations are statuses too. Set up a status flow like *Drafted → Reviewed → Shipped* and assign the *Drafted* nodes to your reviewer. KopiMark sends them an in-app and email notification with a deep link to the exact node. See [Statuses and approvals](/docs/guides/statuses-and-approvals/). ## FAQ ### Does editing an AI draft count as a new AI translation? No. AI translations are metered against successful AI completions only. Tweaking a draft, retyping it, or reverting to a previous revision doesn't burn additional quota. ### Can I undo an AI translation I don't like? Yes. AI drafts land as normal revisions in the History panel, so you can roll back to the previous translation (or to the source) the same way you'd undo any manual edit. ### How does the AI handle glossary terms marked "keep in source language"? As a hard constraint. The model is instructed never to translate those terms, which is the typical setting for brand names and product names. Per-language translations work the same way — if a glossary term has a target translation, the model uses it verbatim. ### What if the source string is too short for the AI to guess the meaning? Use the **Context** field in the editor's translation side-panel. A one-line hint (e.g. *"Save" meaning commit a change, not rescue*) is usually enough to disambiguate UI labels where the source alone is ambiguous. ## See also - [Statuses and approvals](/docs/guides/statuses-and-approvals/) - [Project settings](/docs/settings/project-settings/) - [Plans and limits](/docs/reference/plans-and-limits/) --- ## All documentation _The full docs index, in case the answer lives on another page.
