Can you advise regarding the EXCEL PLUGIN when we want add an excel to the project instead of TB?

Question

Hi, 
 
 Georgian source text term recognition does not work. Therefore, we were advised to use a special plugin for excels to be added to the project and it turned out to work. 
 Can you help me with this plug in and settings?

Hi, Nikoloz. If you allow me a tip, I believe using Excel, while it works, it's sort of a limited choice for terminology management. It is a flat database, whereas MultiTerm termbases are multidimensional with three basic levels (plus all the levels or fields you wish to add). In order for your computer to work correctly with the Georgian language (and its corresponding language pack) Microsoft recommends having English (United States), English (United Kingdom), or Russian as base language (see: support.microsoft.com/.../language-packs .) In addition, With the 202 keyboard layouts in Windows 8.1, for instance, you can enter text in more than 7,000 languages (see: blogs.windows.com/.../) . Once your language settings are all right you could use MultiTerm without any issues. And, of course, if it works in Excel, it should also work in MultiTerm which is based in the same Microsoft Office technology.

Hi Nikoloz Jashi 
 I never cease to be amazed by the ability of this excel terminology provider. I confirmed multiterm cannot recognise Georgian as source, and then using the same test termbase converted to excel I can get this: 
 
 All I did was take the converted termbase which looks like this: 
 
 Then added it to my project using this plugin (that link will explain how to use it and link to the plugin):

 I used these settings: 
 
 Hopefully this answered whatever your question was?
