## What it is
A Sketch.app plugin that translates the Sketch user interface into multiple languages, including Chinese Simplified/Traditional, German, Japanese, French, Russian, and Korean. It is community-translated via POEditor and installable manually or through Sketch Runner.

## Use cases
- use sketch in chinese
- translate sketch app interface to german
- change sketch ui language to japanese
- localize sketch menus and panels
- install a sketch plugin for multi-language support
- use sketch in french or russian

## When to choose
- you use Sketch.app on macOS and want the UI in one of the supported languages
- you want a quick, community-driven translation of Sketch's interface
- you prefer installing plugins via Sketch Runner

## When to avoid
- you need a currently maintained plugin, as the last release was in 2019
- you use a Sketch version whose UI structure has changed since 2019 and may break translations
- you need a language not listed or only partially translated (e.g., Korean at 1%)
- you use design tools other than Sketch
