Commands

Core Commands

The Lara CLI provides several commands to handle different translation scenarios and manage your translation resources.

translate

Use the translate command to perform translations between Supported Languages pairs. This command supports both text and file-based translations with advanced options to refine output quality.

Supported options:

• --source <locale> (optional string): Set source locale (e.g., "fr").
• --text (optional string): Translate a text string directly (e.g., "hello world").
• --file (optional string): Translate a file directly (e.g., "/path/to/file.txt").
• --target <locales> (optional string array): Comma-separated list of target locales to translate to (e.g., "es, fr").
• --translation-memories (optional string array): Set comma-separated Translation Memory IDs.
• --glossaries (optional string array): Set comma-separated Glossary IDs.
• --no-trace: Prevent server-side storage of translated content

Translation Workflow

The CLI's primary function is the translate command, which accepts text or file input along with language specifications and optional parameters.

Batch Processing Example

Command:

lara-cli translate --paths "./docs/readme.md" --source "en-US" --target "de" --translation-memories "mem_ABC123"

This command translates an entire markdown file while maintaining technical terminology from your translation memory and applying formal language style.
