    To find synonyms of words you may have a look in a dictionary.
    On line there is - among others - http://www.rhymezone.com/ where you can enter "seriousness" and ask for synonyms.
    As you spoke about "beautiful translations" you should mind the subtleties, for 2 synonyms are never completely alike. If they were, you wouldn't have 2 different words.

    Hello Danjor,


    Possible synonyms of seriousness can be earnestness OR if seriousness means the condition of being grave and of involving serious consequences, one could use gravity.
    As Gee told you 2 synonyms are never completely alike and it all depends on the context too.
    Good luck.
