Managing Styleguides via the Lara API
How to create and manage styleguide containers programmatically
Note: Styleguides are a specific feature of Lara Prosa, an advanced stylistic translation service for high-value content where voice, rhythm, and editorial quality matter as much as accuracy. Implementing a style guide necessitates an upfront configuration phase. Contact us to learn more →
The Lara API now includes styleguide management, allowing you to create, update, and delete styleguide containers programmatically as part of your integration or automation workflow.
What is a styleguide in Lara?
A styleguide defines the translation rules and preferences - tone of voice, terminology choices, formatting guidelines - that Lara applies when translating your content. Styleguides help ensure translations are consistent with your brand standards across content types, products, and languages.
Creating and managing styleguide containers
You can create, update, and delete styleguide containers through the Lara API. This is useful when you need to manage translation preferences dynamically, or when maintaining different styleguides for different content types, clients, or workflows.
Getting your styleguide configured
Creating a container is the first step. To generate a styleguide that works correctly with Lara's translation models, contact us at support@laratranslate.com - we'll configure it based on the guidelines and preferences you provide.
SDK support
Styleguide management is available across all main Lara SDKs: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, .NET, Ruby, Swift, and PHP.
