The pseudo localization drum is one I keep drumming with design colleagues. It's such an eye opener!
One thing I noticed with Figma plugins from commercial TMS is that they're usually gated behind login walls and some features I like from one are not available in others. That's why I published my own Figma plugin which allows you to use % of expansion, different alphabets and pseudo some of the nodes in your design (vs the whole page).
Still haunted by German translations in my nightmares 😅
Love the language—just not in my UIs!
I feel your pain!
I’ve worked in 4 German products and it was always a nightmare 🙈
Surprised by the depth of this article. Such an interesting topic!
I loved the depth and examples of this article!

I would love to get some feedback to improve it further: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1503771221094992787/pseudo-localizer-for-figma-figjam
Will check it out, José. Thanks for sharing.
Super interesting!
