What kind of context should I provide?

Tips for adding Context to achieve accurate and refined translations

  1. Specify the source of your text. For example, mention if the text is from a book, movie, technical document, or any specific industry. This helps Lara interpret terms or phrases that might have specialized meanings. For instance, you can say, “This phrase is from the fantasy book The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.”

  2. Define the tone and formality level of your text. Indicate whether the content should sound casual, professional, or formal, so Lara can adjust the translation style accordingly.

  3. Clarify the intended audience or purpose. For example, specify if the translation is meant for a technical manual, a marketing brochure, or a personal email. This helps tailor the vocabulary and phrasing to your needs.

  4. Provide sentence scope or broader context for ambiguous phrases. If a phrase can have multiple meanings, describe the situation it refers to or give the preceding and following sentences to avoid misinterpretation.

  5. Mention any cultural or linguistic nuances. If there are idiomatic expressions, proper names, or culturally specific references, note their origin or meaning to improve translation accuracy.
