You can provide your translator with the dictionary for editing. At the same time, you can contin-ue working on your Excel file while the translator is using the dictionary.

Your translator can translate the terms and then send the document back to you. You can import the translations with a click. languagewords matches the translations to the correct terms, even if the dictionary has been sorted or new terms have been added in the meantime. When exporting, a new Excel file with a single worksheet is created, which contains all of the terms in your tables but no numbers.

In this dialogue, each column represents a language. Colours indicate the respective status in comparison to the cell content between the dictionary and the translator:

  • Grey / Identical: There are no deviations between the imported data and the dictionary entry: No action required
  • Green / No problems: The content of the cell in the original is empty and the translation could be added with no problems: No action required
  • Red / Difference: There is a difference between the dictionary entry and the translator’s term in this cell. Select:
    • “Dictionary” to keep the term in your dictionary (highlighted in red in the dictionary)
    • “Translator” to accept the translator’s suggestion (highlighted in yellow in the dictionary)
      • After selecting, you can click “Accept term” to import the term
      • After selecting, you can click “Reject term” to ignore the term
