## Overview

[Lara](https://developers.laratranslate.com/docs/introduction) is an adaptive translation AI by [translated](https://translated.com/) that combines the fluency and context handling of LLMs with low hallucination and latency. It adapts to domains at inference time using optional context, instructions, translation memories, and glossaries.

`LaraDocumentTranslator` takes a list of Haystack documents, translates their text content via the Lara API, and returns new documents containing the translations. The original document ID is preserved in each translated document's metadata under the `original_document_id` key.

Key features:

- **Automatic language detection**: set `source_lang` to `None` and Lara auto-detects it.
- **Translation styles**: choose `"faithful"`, `"fluid"`, or `"creative"` to control the tone.
- **Context and instructions**: pass surrounding text or natural-language instructions to improve quality.
- **Translation memories and glossaries**: supply memory or glossary IDs so Lara enforces consistent terminology.
- **Reasoning (Lara Think)**: enable multi-step linguistic analysis for higher-quality output.

## Usage
### Installation

To start using this integration with Haystack, install it with:

```shell
pip install lara-haystack
```

`LaraDocumentTranslator` needs Lara API credentials to work. It uses the `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET` environment variables by default. Otherwise, you can pass them at initialization:

```python
from haystack.utils import Secret
from haystack_integrations.components.translators.lara import LaraDocumentTranslator

translator = LaraDocumentTranslator(
access_key_id=Secret.from_token("<your-access-key-id>"),
access_key_secret=Secret.from_token("<your-access-key-secret>"),
source_lang="en-US",
target_lang="de-DE",
)
```

To get your Lara API credentials, sign up at [laratranslate.com](https://laratranslate.com/).
### On its own

Remember to set the `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET` environment variables or pass them in directly.

```python
from haystack import Document
from haystack.utils import Secret
from haystack_integrations.components.translators.lara import LaraDocumentTranslator

translator = LaraDocumentTranslator(
access_key_id=Secret.from_env_var("LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
access_key_secret=Secret.from_env_var("LARA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"),
source_lang="en-US",
target_lang="de-DE",
)

doc = Document(content="Hello, world!")
result = translator.run(documents=[doc])
print(result["documents"][0].content)
# >> "Hallo, Welt!"
```

### In a pipeline

Below is an example of the `LaraDocumentTranslator` in a pipeline that fetches a webpage, converts it to a document, and translates it from English to German.

```python
from haystack import Pipeline
from haystack.components.converters import HTMLToDocument
from haystack.components.fetchers import LinkContentFetcher
from haystack_integrations.components.translators.lara import LaraDocumentTranslator

fetcher = LinkContentFetcher()
converter = HTMLToDocument()
translator = LaraDocumentTranslator(source_lang="en-US", target_lang="de-DE")

pipe = Pipeline()
pipe.add_component("fetcher", fetcher)
pipe.add_component("converter", converter)
pipe.add_component("translator", translator)

pipe.connect("fetcher", "converter")
pipe.connect("converter", "translator")

result = pipe.run(data={"fetcher": {"urls": ["https://haystack.deepset.ai/"]}})
translated_docs = result["translator"]["documents"]
for doc in translated_docs:
print(doc.content)
```
