What canva-translate-design does

The skill locates a Canva design by ID, URL, or title. For a title, it uses Canva:search-designs; multiple matches require the user to choose one. It then creates a same-size copy with Canva:resize-design, leaving the original design untouched.

It starts Canva:start-editing-transaction on the copy to retrieve text elements and their IDs. Each element is translated while line breaks and formatting cues are preserved. The skill batches the replacements in one Canva:perform-editing-operations call, updates the design title, shows a preview, and waits for approval before Canva:commit-editing-transaction.

A large change in text length can require manual layout work in Canva. Check the text boxes before approving the saved copy.

What it helps with

  • translate text across every page of a Canva design
  • create a localized copy without changing the original
  • find a design by title, URL, or ID
  • replace translated text in one editing call
  • check the layout after text length changes

Example prompts for the agent

  • Translate my Canva design with ID `DABcd1234ef` into French and show me a preview before saving.
  • Find the Canva design titled “Summer Sale Poster”, create a Spanish copy, and leave the original unchanged.
  • Localize this Canva design URL into German, preserve line breaks, and ask for approval before committing.
