AI Act Translation Guidelines: How to use Lara Translate effectively
- Always review the output: While Lara Translate delivers high-quality translations, occasional inaccuracies or ambiguities may occur.
- Ideal use cases: General content, marketing materials, business communications, and technical documentation.
- For legal, medical, or highly sensitive content: We recommend a human review to ensure full compliance and precise terminology.
- Use glossaries and translation memories wisely: They are powerful tools to ensure consistency and domain accuracy. However, if the contents of glossaries or memories are incorrect, the translation output may be compromised or misleading.
- Consider content style and tone: Lara supports different translation styles (e.g., formal, fluid, creative) to better match your needs.
- Provide context carefully: While adding instructions or extra context can improve translation accuracy, excessive or irrelevant instructions may cause the output to diverge significantly from the original text. Use this feature thoughtfully.
- Typos are often understood, but better to write correctly: Lara can handle common typos or minor spelling errors, but clear and correct input ensures more precise translation results.
- Use editable source files for document translation: To preserve formatting as accurately as possible, always upload editable originals instead of scanned PDFs or images.
- Check language pairs with special formatting needs: For example, bidirectional scripts (like Arabic or Hebrew) or character-based languages (like Chinese or Japanese) may require formatting adjustments.
- Avoid relying on AI output as final without human oversight in regulated contexts: Especially when translations have legal or contractual consequences.
- Report any issues: If you notice unexpected output, our support team is available to help investigate and improve quality.
