The Lara integration for Wordfast Anywhere allows you to harness Lara’s hybrid AI capabilities - combining machine translation and large language model technology -within your translation workflow. You can steer the translation toward your preferred style or tone, making the output more aligned with your project goals.
Key Features
-
Prompt Customization: Although editable, Lara’s default prompts are optimized for clarity - no complex instructions needed.
-
Pre-Translation and AI Enhance Support: Lara works in both pre-translation and manual enhancement modes in Wordfast.
-
Direct Style Steering: Use Lara to enforce tone, field-specific style, or even word-level substitutions.
Integration Overview
Lara is added to Wordfast Anywhere the same way as other AI engines via the AI setup panel. You’ll need to generate your Access Key ID and Access Key Secret from your Lara account and input them into Wordfast to activate the connection.
