This guide helps you resolve common issues you might encounter while using Gleef. If you can’t find a solution to your problem, don’t hesitate to contact our support team.

Common import issues

File parsing errors

Verify your file respects common CSV, XML or JSON formatting. Here are the format we use:

  • CSV:
       key, value
    
  • JSON: given a key named: parent.subparent.element with the value: value
    {
    "parent": {
       "subparent": {
          "element": "value"
       }
    }
    
  • XML:
    <resources>
    <string name="key1">value1</string>
    <string name="key2">value2</string>
    </resources>
    
Values are expected to be the same language as the one used to design your files

File too large

Split the file into smaller chunks

File encoding issues

Ensure the file is encoded in UTF-8, so that special characters are properly interpreted

File format not supported

Gleef supports CSV, JSON, and XML files. If you need another file formatting, please try converting your file in another format, or contact us.

Plugin issues

Plugin not loading

It can sometimes happen, mainly due to Figma. Try running it online (on your browser) or switching to Figma’s app. Sometimes deleting the plugin and re-downloading it might also solve this issue.

Slow performance

As you may have already experience using AI, it sometimes takes longer than usual to generate answers.

Authentication errors

If you encounter any authentication errors, try logging out and logging back in. If the issue persists, please contact us.

Error while generating keys

During generation

Try not to select another frame than the one you want to generate keys for. If the issue persists, please contact us.

Key duplication

It can sometimes happen that a key is duplicated in your screen while generating. It means that the element is the same and so only one key should be used. You can edit the key name, but won’t be able to get back to the duplicated status manually, as Gleef doesn’t enable manual key duplication. No worries, export files will only have one key.

Existing Keys

  • Missing keys: If some keys should be marked down as existing but are not, it might mean that they are not in the current knowledge base. Try importing these keys and regenerate this frame, see more on key import.
  • Key value conflict: A key can be tagged as existing, with a different value than the one in the knowledge base. If it is the case, the export file will have the value from the current Frame.
