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 desired to only extract certain columes, rows, or sheets for monolingual content or when the translation will be for a multilingual content.
| Configuration Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Mono or Multilingual Content | The default Excel file format configuration is set up to translate monolingual content. This option may be used to create a custom configuration with specific extraction rules for monolingual content or to translate multilingual files. A custom configuration is necessary to translate multilingual Excel files. |
| Columns | Configure specific columns to extract from the Excel file and choose to exclude hidden columns from the translation. |
| Rows | Configure what row the translation will start on and choose to exclude hidden rows from the translation. |
| Sheets | Configure specific sheets to be translated and choose to exclude hidden sheets from the translation. |
| Other Content | Extract or exclude document properties, headers, footers, sheet names, and user comments from the translation. |
| Text Segmentation | Enable/Disable SRX rules for text segmentation and choose to spilt or not split text at line breaks. |
Do Not Translate
The Do Not Translate Tab provides options for configuring items to exclude from the translation such as certain text colors, words, or segments of text.

Whitespaces & Symbols
The Whitespaces & Symbols Tab provides configuration options for managing whitespaces and characters that are not letters or digits within the translation.
| Configuration Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Do Not Show Leading and Trailing Whitespaces | Elect to show or exclude leading and trailing whitespaces within the translation. |
| Convert Sequences of Multiple Whitespaces Into Markup | Elect to convert or not convert multiple whitespaces into markup within the translation. |
| Do Not Show Leading and Trailing Characters that are Neither Letters nor Digits | Elect to show or exclude leading and trailing characters that do not contain letters nor digits within the translation. |
| Convert Words Containing Neither Letters nor Digits Into Markup | Elect to convert or not convert words containing no letter or digits into markup within the translation. |
Reduce Markup
The Reduce Markup Tab provides configuration options for substantially reducing markup. Less markup means better translation memory hits and less work for the translator. Be careful with these options because removing markup may lead to translated documents with minor to small differences in fonts and text styles.
| Configuration Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Remove Irrelevent Font or Style Changes | Choose to ignore formatting changes applied to whitespaces or to texts that do not contain letters nor digits during translation. |
| Visually Reduce Markup in Translation Editor | Merge adjacent markup elements into a single markup to preserve the original styles and fonts of the source file during translation. When enabled, the translator will not see individual markup elements. This option is disabled in the default configuration. |
Embedded Files
The Embedded Files Tab provides options for extracted other Office files that have been embedded into Microsoft Excel files. These options are disable by default, but may be enabled to extract this type of content for translation. Please note that the system will extract all the content from an embedded file and not necessarily just the visible content.
