Translate live text in Photoshop & Illustrator.

A desktop plugin reads the editable text layers in your .psd and .ai files, translates them through your Rush account, and writes the translations back in place — layout, fonts, and positioning untouched. The plugin sends only the strings, so your file never leaves your machine.

Wrote back 3 layers

Your artwork, in every language — layout intact.

The plugin runs inside Photoshop or Illustrator, translating the live text and writing it straight back into the document.

Live text layers

It reads editable text layers and translates them — not a flattened export.

Layout untouched

Fonts, styles, and positioning stay exactly where you put them.

One key, both apps

A single plugin key works in both Photoshop and Illustrator.

Powered by your Rush account

Brand voice, glossary, and AI quality apply — metered as AI words.

In place, not exported

Translates the layers, keeps the layout.

The plugin translates the editable text in your open document and writes each result straight back into its own layer — fonts, sizes, and positions preserved. Text that's been rasterized or converted to outlines can't be edited, so the plugin flags it and leaves it untouched rather than guessing.

Editable text only

Live text layers are translated where they sit, in the same layer.

Styles & position kept

Fonts, colors, and placement are preserved exactly.

Flags rasterized text

Outlined or rasterized text is flagged and skipped — never mangled.

One plugin, both apps

Photoshop and Illustrator, one key.

The same plugin key works across Photoshop and Illustrator, installed through Adobe's UXP plugin runtime. Access is included on the Growth plan and up, and the plugin authenticates by key — so it never takes up one of your connector slots.

One API key

Generate it once in Rush and use it in both apps.

How it works

Set up in about five minutes.

Generate an API key

On the Photoshop & Illustrator connector in Rush → Sources, generate a plugin key. Available on the Growth plan and up.

Download & install the plugin

Download the Photoshop or Illustrator plugin and load it with Adobe's UXP tooling. (The plugin package is rolling out in beta.)

Paste your key & translate

Open the panel, paste the key, pick your languages, and translate the open document in place.

Permissions & security

Your file never leaves your machine.

The plugin does the file work locally and sends only the strings to translate. Here's exactly what that means.

What we access

The text strings. The plugin sends only the extracted strings to your Rush account to translate — nothing else.

Your Rush account. To translate with brand voice and glossary, metered against your AI word allowance.

Your plan entitlement. A quick check that your plan (Growth and up) includes the plugin.

What we never do

See your file. Your .psd or .ai never leaves your machine — the server does no file handling.

Call Adobe for you. The plugin runs inside your app; we make no Adobe API calls on your behalf.

Store your artwork. We handle strings, not images — nothing about your design is stored.

The details

How the plugin behaves.

The specifics teams ask about before they roll it out to designers.

Auth

A plugin API key you generate in Rush (Growth plan and up), pasted into the panel. No OAuth.

What it translates

Editable, live text layers. Rasterized or outlined text is flagged and skipped — it can't be edited.

Where translation happens

In your Rush account — brand voice, glossary, and AI quality apply, metered as AI words.

File handling

The plugin sends only the strings. Your .psd/.ai never leaves your machine and we make no Adobe API calls.

Apps

One key works in both Photoshop and Illustrator, via Adobe's UXP plugin runtime.

Availability

The translation backend is live today. The plugin package itself is rolling out in beta — join early access to get it.

Questions

Photoshop & Illustrator, answered.

Does my file leave my computer?

No. The plugin sends only the text strings to translate; your .psd or .ai stays on your machine, and we make no Adobe API calls.

Is the plugin available now?

The translation backend and API keys work today. The plugin package itself is rolling out in beta — join early access and we'll get it to you as it ships.

Which text can it translate?

Editable, live text layers. Text that's been rasterized or converted to outlines can't be edited, so it's flagged and left untouched.

Does it keep my layout?

Yes. Translations are written back into the same text layers with fonts, styles, and positioning preserved.

One key for both apps?

Yes — a single plugin key works in both Photoshop and Illustrator, through Adobe's UXP plugin runtime.

Which plan do I need?

The plugin is available on the Growth plan and up. It authenticates by key, so it never uses one of your connector slots.
