Microsoft Excel

Only the new *.xlsx format is supported.
How to work with older *.xls files:
  • Open the +.xls file in Microsoft Excel
  • Save it as *.xlsx
  • Upload the document to  termbase.io 
There are two ways to translate Excel files:

In - Place translation

This method allows you to translate the Excel file while keeping all the text in its original location. For example, if cell A1 contains text in English, it will be translated into Spanish. When you open the new file, cell A1 will display the Spanish translation directly.
Not needed to create custom filter type. Easily create a new job and translate it as described in  Translate documents 

Column - Based Translation

In this method, you translate content from one column (e.g., column A) and store the translations in a different column (e.g., column C). This approach facilitates easier comparison and editing of translations.
