Alternative Translations

Explore and select the best translation option

Sometimes, one translation just isn’t enough. That’s why Lara includes Alternative Translations,  a feature designed to give you flexibility, control, and clarity when choosing the perfect expression. Whether you're adjusting tone, refining a single word, or ensuring the best fit for your context, Lara helps you explore options with a single click.

Alternative Translations appear right inside the translation area. You’ll see a subtle underline below certain words or phrases. Clicking on them opens a contextual menu of alternative choices, each with a short explanation to help you decide which one fits your style or intent.

Here’s how to use this feature in your workflow:

  1. Enter your text in the source box and wait for the translation to appear on the right-hand side as usual. Lara will highlight words or expressions that have meaningful variations.

  2. Hover over or click on the underlined word or phrase. A menu will appear showing Alternative Translations, each one offers a slightly different nuance or tone, along with a helpful label explaining when to use it (e.g., “To express a relaxed, leisurely walk” or “For a more active or energetic walk”).

  3. Click on the alternative that best fits your context. Once selected, the translation is immediately updated, seamlessly incorporating your choice. If you change your mind after selecting an alternative, you can easily undo it by pressing Control + Z on Windows or Command + Z on Mac.

  4. You can try multiple alternatives in the same sentence. Lara keeps everything smooth and reactive, so you can test different phrasings without needing to re-translate from scratch.

This is especially useful if you’re working with:

  • Creative content

  • Marketing copy

  • Casual dialogue

  • Words with multiple possible meanings

Note: This feature is currently available only on Lara's desktop version. It is not supported on mobile devices yet.
