I imagine it will be on the Vault ($$$). Cheryl's part was about using the "Google Sheets sync" plugin for Figma to allow for localized text via tokenized strings.

More broadly, it was the suggestion to think about localization from the start, rather than hard coding strings.

@funnygodmother.bsky.social thanks for the localization micro talk! Even at the high-level and speed you delivered, it was easy to see how it worked and how to use the same workflow in other context like a game engine.
