Export Aliases

Export aliases allow you to upload content in one format or location but export it with different key names, to different files, or even in completely different file formats. This solves a common problem in multiplatform development where the same string might need different naming conventions or formats across platforms.

For example, you could upload a text once and export it as both an Android XML file and an iOS strings file, each with platform-appropriate formatting and key naming. This feature eliminates duplicate translation work and keeps your content consistent across platforms.

If you’re using Figma as your source of truth, Export Aliases can significantly streamline your workflow. You can upload all your text content from Figma into a single Localazy file (using text node IDs as keys), then use Export Aliases to organize how this content gets exported to your code repositories.

This approach works especially well with Key Clustering, which automatically groups duplicate content. Once set up, your developers can access translated content in the exact format and location they need, while designers can continue working in Figma without changing their process.
