Certainly! Our Excel app is compatible with several versions, including Excel 365, Excel 2019, and Excel Online, ensuring flexibility and accessibility across different platforms. However, it’s important to note that you must have an active Microsoft 365 subscription to download and install apps from Microsoft AppSource.

You have full control over the translation process, allowing you to select specific portions of your Excel document according to your needs. You can choose to translate individual cells, entire columns, rows, or even whole worksheets. This flexibility ensures that you can tailor the translation to the specific sections you need, without affecting other parts of your document. Additionally, the Excel plugin is designed to remember your preferences, making future translations more convenient and efficient by automatically applying your previous settings.

When translating Excel files, your formulas remain unchanged and intact. Our advanced Excel integration has been designed to accurately identify and safeguard formulas, as well as other crucial elements such as dates, numbers, and various non-text content within your sheets. This ensures that only the text requiring translation is sent to our translation platform, preventing any alteration or disruption to the functionality of your formulas. Consequently, you can trust that your calculations and data integrity will be preserved throughout the translation process.

The timeline for translating an Excel document largely depends on the volume of content that needs to be translated as well as the specific language pairs involved. Generally, most Excel translations are completed within a timeframe of 24 to 48 hours. This means that simple or smaller projects may be finished more quickly, while more complex ones could take a little longer. To keep you informed, you can track the progress of your translation project and receive timely notifications as soon as your translations are ready for review or use.

Absolutely. Your Excel data is extremely secure during the translation process. We prioritize the protection of your information by using enterprise-grade encryption to safeguard your data from unauthorized access. We adhere to stringent security standards, including GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, which ensure that we maintain the highest level of data protection and privacy. Rest assured, your Excel data is only processed for the duration necessary and is never stored permanently on our servers, further ensuring your information remains confidential and secure.

Yes, XTM supports collaborative translation workflows, allowing multiple translators to work simultaneously on different sections of a project. This means that team members can efficiently divide the workload, tackling various parts of the Excel file at the same time without interfering with each other’s progress. Additionally, you can continue to make updates to the source Excel file as needed, and all changes will automatically synchronize across the platform. This ensures that everyone is always working with the most current version of the document, enhancing productivity and accuracy.

The Excel app is included with your XTM subscription, which means you won’t incur any extra charges for using the Excel translation plugin itself. The only costs you need to consider are for the translation services, which are calculated based on the word count and language pairs involved in your project. This pricing model ensures transparency and predictability, so you know precisely what you’re paying for. There are no hidden fees or additional charges associated with utilizing the Excel integration feature.

Our Excel plugin is designed to work seamlessly with several popular file formats. It supports the modern .xlsx format, which is commonly used for Excel spreadsheets, as well as the macro-enabled .xlsm format, allowing for automated tasks within Excel files. Additionally, it can handle the older .xls format, ensuring compatibility with legacy Excel files. Beyond traditional desktop files, the plugin also supports Excel Online files, which can be stored in cloud environments such as OneDrive or SharePoint. Importantly, when translating content, the plugin ensures that the original formatting and structure of the files are preserved, providing a consistent and professional appearance.
