Microsoft Excel (XLSX)

Microsoft Excel workbooks are tricky to import because they contain much more than translatable text. Usually, only a small part of an Excel workbook is translatable.

There are many settings that help you select what to translate and what to ignore.

This window is for workbooks from Excel 2007 or higher: Use it to import .xlsx files.

To import multilingual tables: Use the Multilingual Excel filter instead. Use the Multilingual Excel filter, too, if the translation mustn't replace the source text but must go into another column.

How to get here

  1. Start importing a workbook from Excel 2007 or higher (an .xlsx file).
  2. In the Document import options window, select the Excel workbooks, and click Change filter and configuration.
  3. The Document import settings window appears. From the Filter drop-down list, choose Microsoft Excel filter.
