A Must-Read for UI Designers: How to Translate PSD Files in One Click While Preserving Layer Structure?
“When localizing posters or web pages, the most frustrating part for designers is having to manually click each text layer to copy and paste, which is highly inefficient and prone to omissions.”
Root Cause Analysis
Layer Tree Deep Traversal
Shangyi AI can parse the PSD layer tree, automatically filter out pixel layers, adjustment layers, and smart objects, and accurately identify all type layers. Text can be recognized even if it is grouped or hidden, as long as it has not been rasterized.
Style and Effect Inheritance
During translation fillback, the system strictly preserves original character styles (font, font size, color, letter spacing) and paragraph styles (alignment). ‘Blending Mode’ and ‘Layer Styles’ (such as drop shadow and stroke) applied to layers are also fully retained to ensure consistent visual effects.
Intelligent Avoidance and Canvas Boundary Detection
For paragraph text, the AI detects the edges of the canvas. If the translated text is too long, the system will first attempt to reduce the font size rather than forcing a line break, preventing text from overflowing the canvas and being truncated.
Final Solution Summary
Make design internationalization as easy as applying a filter, dramatically reducing the production cycle for multilingual assets.
