# Canva Translate Translate all text elements in a Canva design to a target language, creating a new copy with translated content. ## Workflow ### 1. Locate the Design If user provides a **design ID** directly (typically starts with `D`, e.g. `DABcd1234ef`), use that as the design identifier; **do not** pass it to `Canva:search-designs` (search is for titles, not IDs). If user provides a **URL**: Extract the design ID from the URL (format: `https://www.canva.com/design/{design_id}/...`). If user provides a **name**: Use `Canva:search-designs` to find the design by title. If multiple matches, ask user to clarify. ### 2. Create a Translated Copy Use `Canva:resize-design` with the same dimensions to create a copy. This preserves the original design untouched. ### 3. Start Editing Transaction Use `Canva:start-editing-transaction` on the new copy to get: - `transaction_id` for making edits - All text elements with their `element_id` and current text content ### 4. Translate Text For each text element returned: 1. Translate the text to the target language (use Claude's translation capability) 2. Preserve formatting cues (line breaks, emphasis patterns) 3. Keep proper nouns, brand names, and technical terms as appropriate ### 5. Apply Translations Use `Canva:perform-editing-operations` with `replace_text` operations for all translated elements. Batch all replacements in a single call. Also update the design title to indicate the language (e.g., append " (Spanish)" or use translated title). ### 6. Commit Changes After showing the user the translated preview thumbnail: 1. Ask for explicit approval to save 2. Use `Canva:commit-editing-transaction` to finalize 3. Provide the link to the new translated design ## Example Interaction **User**: Translate my "Summer Sale Poster" to French **Steps**: 1. Search: `Canva:search-designs` with query "Summer Sale Poster" 2. Copy: `Canva:resize-design` to create duplicate 3. Edit: `Canva:start-editing-transaction` on copy 4. Translate all text elements to French 5. Apply: `Canva:perform-editing-operations` with all `replace_text` operations 6. Show preview, get approval, commit ## Important Notes - Always create a copy—never modify the original design - Batch all text replacements in one `perform-editing-operations` call for efficiency - If translation significantly changes text length, warn user that layout adjustments may be needed in Canva - For designs with many pages, translate all pages in the same transaction
