What does the Lara Browser Extension do?

The Lara Browser Extension has two modules, depending on whether you need to translate a full page or translate selected text in Chrome.

1) Page Translator (full page)

Translate an entire web page in place.

  • Keeps the page usable as a page
  • Preserves layout and links as you browse
  • Lets you switch between translated view and original view
  • Lets you choose source language (or Detect) and target language

This is for reading and navigating. It is ideal when you need a Chrome page translator that does not break browsing.

2) Text Translator (selected text)

Translate only what you highlight or paste, right where you are.

  • Great for messages, tickets, snippets, and quick replies
  • Lets you choose a translation style: Faithful, Fluid, or Creative
  • Can show a small translation icon when you highlight text (toggle in settings)

This is for fast back and forth communication. If you like “highlight to translate,” this is the module that makes it feel instant.

Result: you translate web pages fast without switching tools, and you keep control over how the output should read.

Why does copy paste translation slow you down and hurt accuracy?

Most people translate the web like this:

  1. Copy a sentence
  2. Paste it somewhere else
  3. Translate
  4. Copy the result
  5. Go back to the original page
  6. Repeat

It is slow. It breaks focus. It is easy to miss context. And if you are translating for work, “good enough” often fails on tone, intent, and small details.

Operational teams need translation in real time, inside the tools they already use. The fastest way to improve both speed and quality is to translate web pages fast in Chrome, without turning translation into a separate task.

Translate the customer message to understand it fully. Draft your response in your language. Translate the response back with the right style.

2) Sales and CS reading mode
You are checking a competitor page or a customer website in a language you do not speak. Instead of translating pieces and losing structure, you translate the whole page and keep moving.

3) Ops and procurement
Supplier catalogs, product sheets, shipping policies, and B2B portals are often messy. Page translation lets you navigate these sites like you normally would.

3) Reading content you actually care about
Articles, recipes, niche communities. The barrier should be language, not friction.

What do Faithful, Fluid, and Creative mean in translation?

Translate Web Pages Fast - Lara Translate Browser Extension

These styles define how the output should read. They are not “quality levels.” They are different goals for different situations.

Faithful prioritizes accuracy and structure. It stays close to the source, uses careful wording, and avoids unnecessary interpretation.

Fluid prioritizes natural language. It keeps the same meaning, but rewrites phrasing so it reads like something a human would actually say in the target language.

Creative prioritizes intent and tone. It is best when a literal translation sounds awkward and you need a version that carries the message, not the exact wording.

How do I choose the right translation style?

Faithful

Use this when you need precision.

  • Support tickets where details matter
  • Technical instructions
  • Policies, legal content, contracts
  • Product specs

Expect close to the source structure, minimal interpretation.

Fluid

Use this when you need natural language.

  • Most web pages
  • FAQs
  • General business communication
  • Internal summaries

Expect the same meaning, more natural phrasing.

Creative

Use this when you need intent, not literal wording.

  • Marketing copy
  • Headlines
  • Short social snippets
  • Rewrites for clarity

Rule of thumb: if you would feel weird sending the sentence as is, switch to Fluid or Creative.

Why should I trust the output when I translate web pages fast?

Trust, in one block:
  • Lara Translate explains translation choices when needed, so output is not a black box.
  • Lara Translate flags ambiguous terms, helping you spot phrases that can be interpreted in multiple ways.
  • Style control reduces tone mistakes, because you can match the output to the situation.

This matters most in real workflows: support replies, policies, procurement, and any time a small wording shift creates a big misunderstanding.

Why might page translation be unavailable on some websites?

Page translation may not be available on all websites, even if the page is in HTML format.

  • Some websites use technical or security configurations that prevent extensions from accessing or modifying page content.
  • Complex or highly dynamic websites (for example platforms with login, interactive content, or advanced navigation) may block reliable page translation.

In these cases, page translation is automatically disabled to ensure stability and translation quality. If page translation is unavailable, you can still translate specific content using the Text Translator, or copy text into Lara Translate.

How do I get started in 60 seconds?

  1. Install the extension: lara.to/chrome-extension
  2. Pin it in Chrome so it is always visible in your toolbar
  3. Sign in with your Lara Translate account
  4. Open a page in a language you do not understand
  5. Click the Lara Translate icon
  6. Choose the source language (or keep Detect)
  7. Select the target language
  8. Click “Translate this page”
  9. Toggle “Show original” whenever you want

For quick snippets:

  1. Highlight a sentence
  2. Use the Text Translator
  3. Pick Faithful, Fluid, or Creative based on your goal

That is it. No copy paste. No tab switching. Just faster browsing.
