Multiple columns in Bilingual Excel files

Hello, I frequently receive excel files with multiple columns in the source language and corresponding multiple columns in the target language. How can I set this up? I understand how to do it when there is only one column for each language, and I tried entering more than one letter in the source language, ex.: ACE and BDF for target, but I still only get one column added per language. Is this even possible? Thanks.

  • Hi Josée,

    I think the only options are the following:

    1. Try Excelling Studio from the appstore (free version available), although I'm not sure about the target language options for your usecase.  Perhaps  can comment?
    2. Use the monolingual filter and copy the source into the target columns and then just translate the target columns.  Will be good if you don't already have any target language results.
    3. Use the bilingual filter in stages, either one after the other or create copies of the file and do them together.  The latter means merging them together again at the end of course.

    I guess you also posted into my blog... so apologies for the first response as I clearly misunderstood your question!

    Regards
