Export Aliases

Export aliases let you upload content once but export it everywhere you need it, with different key names, file locations, or formats. Solve a common problem in multiplatform development where the same string might need different naming conventions or formats across platforms. 

When you move keys between files in your codebase, they are typically treated as completely new keys rather than relocated ones. This breaks their connection to existing translations and forces you to translate everything again.

With Export Aliases, you can define export path aliases for your keys before moving them. This tells Localazy to keep tracking them as the same source keys, preserving all translation history, comments, and metadata.

Upload text content directly from Figma using node IDs as keys, then transform it into properly structured files with export aliases.

When combined with Key Clustering, this lets Figma serve as your single source of truth, automatically sending the right content to each platform without manual renaming.

While format conversions change file types, export aliases handle both format differences and key naming variations simultaneously. By setting one platform (like Android) as your source of truth, you can define export aliases that map Android's resource identifiers to iOS-friendly naming patterns automatically.

Export Aliases allow you to configure your Android project as the source of truth and then set up your iOS project to purely download content with iOS-specific conditions.
