Multilingual Excel and delimited text files

You can import text from multiple-column formats including Excel sheets, CSV and text files with comma or tab-separated values. These files usually contain several columns, and each column has the same text in a different language.

In this window, you can control how memoQ imports multilingual Excel or delimited files. You can import text from multiple columns into the project's source language, as well as into its target languages. You can also export multiple target languages in one go, into a single export file - if you have a project manager license for memoQ.

Can't import in LiveDocs: You can't import a multilingual Excel or text file into a LiveDocs corpus.

Normally, only text is imported: Normally, memoQ will not import numbers or formulas from Excel workbooks. However, you can tell memoQ to import them: Use the Excel options tab for that.
