Using Lara in Google Slides

The Lara Browser Extension integrates with Google Slides, letting you translate all text on a slide at once — preserving formatting and layout.

Requirements

To use Lara in Google Slides, you need:

• The Lara Browser Extension installed in Chrome
• An active Lara account (Pro or Team plan)
  
  

1. Open a Google Slides presentation in edit mode
2. A floating Lara button appears on the slide canvas
3. Click it to open the translation controls
4. Select the source language (or keep Detect)
5. Select the target language
6. Choose a translation style (Faithful, Fluid, Creative, Formal, or Informal)
7. Select Translation Memories and Glossaries
8. Click Translate Slide

All text boxes on the current slide are translated at once. The translation preserves the original formatting, layout, and text positioning. Use Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) to undo.

Enable or Disable Google Slides Integration

To toggle the integration:

• Click the Lara icon in the Google Slides title bar
• Or go to the Lara side panel > Settings > Integrations > Google Slides

When you first open a presentation with the extension installed, a welcome popup lets you enable or disable the integration.

Billing and Usage

Translations in Google Slides are billed using the Text Translation quota associated with your Lara account.
