Frontitude

Frontitude is a comprehensive platform designed to be the single source of truth for UX content and its localization. It addresses the common challenges of fragmented workflows, content inconsistency, and slow handoffs between teams. By bringing together UX writers, designers, product managers, localization experts, and developers into one collaborative space, Frontitude helps companies ship consistent, high-quality user experiences in every language, at scale.

The platform is built around a central Copy Library, which acts as a repository for all product copy. This allows teams to manage, reuse, and track changes to content efficiently. With powerful AI features, including an AI Writing Assistant and AI Translation, teams can accelerate content creation and localization while maintaining brand voice and terminology. The deep integration with design tools ensures that content is always viewed and edited within its visual context, bridging the gap between design and copy.

How to use Frontitude

Getting started with Frontitude is a streamlined process designed to integrate smoothly into existing workflows:

1. Setup Workspace: Create your workspace and invite team members, assigning roles like Editor or Viewer to manage permissions.
2. Integrate with Design Tools: Install the Frontitude plugin for Figma or Sketch. This allows you to pull content directly from your designs into Frontitude's Copy Library.
3. Centralize Content: Use the plugin to import copy from your design files. You can also import content from files like CSV or JSON. Organize your content into projects, which can represent different product features or sections.
4. Collaborate and Write: Team members can comment, suggest edits, and discuss copy within Frontitude. The AI Writing Assistant provides suggestions to improve clarity and consistency. Writers and designers can see changes and collaborate in real-time.
5. Manage Localization: Set up target languages for your projects. Use the AI Translation feature for quick first drafts and leverage the Translation Memory to ensure consistency with previously approved translations. Translators can work with full design context, previewing translations directly in Figma frames.
6. Automate Developer Handoff: Once copy is finalized and approved, use the Developer CLI to push content directly to your codebase. This automates the creation of translation keys and eliminates the tedious manual work of copy-pasting, allowing developers to focus on building features.
