Question improvement suggestion: Specify the version of Trados Studio you are using and clarify if you have already installed the TermExcelerator plug-in.
In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:
Hello! To import terms from an Excel sheet into your termbase in Trados Studio, you can follow these steps:
**Step 1:** Ensure you have the TermExcelerator plug-in installed. This plug-in allows you to use an Excel glossary as a termbase in Trados Studio.
**Step 2:** Prepare your Excel file. Make sure that your Excel sheet has a clear structure, with the first row containing the header fields (e.g., Source Term, Target Term). If you have multiple sheets, ensure they have the same structure or consolidate them into one sheet.
**Step 3:** Open Trados Studio and go to the Project Settings. Here, you can add the Excel-based terminology provider by selecting the option for "Excel-based Terminology provider."
**Step 4:** Once you have added the Excel termbase, you can start adding, editing, or deleting terms directly from the Studio Editor or the Termbase Viewer. Any changes made can be synced back to the Excel file.
**Step 5:** To sync changes, make sure to save and close the Excel file before clicking the Sync button in the Termbase Viewer. This will ensure that the updated terms are available in Studio.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully import your Excel terms into the termbase. If you encounter any issues, please provide more details about your setup, and I'll be happy to assist further!

Is there any video explaining the process to help?
There's a good one here that should help:
It's not the same as the process mentioned by the AI and that's because I think the AI misunderstood your needs. It explained how to use an Excel file as a termbase without importing. The process in the video explains how to get your excel into a termbase which is what I think you asked.
If you do want to use excel as the termbase then this may help:
