When setting up a file format configuration for Microsoft Excel, there are many options to choose from to ensure the translation is successful. This page will explain the most common options for Excel files.

General Tab

The General Tab contains options for choosing what type of content will be translated and what portions of the Excel file will be extracted. For example, a custom configuration would be helpful if you desire to only extract certain columns, rows, or sheets for monolingual content or when the translation will be for a multilingual content.

...

Note: The system will extract all the content from an embedded file and not necessarily just the visible content.

 

QA

The QA tab allows to specify minimum and/or maximum lengths for each translation segment. This constraints are applied to the whole segment, for each language available.

Limits can be customized for different source columns with absolute char values, percentages or even from values from a given column in the file.

For a given source column, the system selects by priority the first limit in the list that explicitly refers to this column.
