Cannot import an html file into my project, only right click > translate with Studio

Hi!
I have been struggling for months with a csv file (cobby export from Magento shop content).

3 columns are relevant for me: 1 with product name (regular text), and 2 with html content.

So far I only managed to do the following:
* save each column separately, i.e. product names in a dedicated excel file for regular adding to my Studio project and each of the 2 html columns into 2 separated Notepad ++ documents for saving as html.

* Those 2 html files I can only translate via the context menu in MS Explorer (Translate in SDL Trados Studio), I cannot add them to my regular project, the file format won't be detected and the files will automatically be set as reference files (not possible to change to translatable files).

Can anybody think of a better way to do this, ideally in one shot or at least with all 3 files in one project, so that I can get a usable analyse?

I attached a simplified sample of the file
Thanks a lot in advance

Regards

     Did you create proper HTML files in Notepad or just pasted the content and changed the file name extension to *.html?
    Anyway, this way you will get huge problems in getting the content back to Excel.
    Much better way would be saving the whole CSV als Excel 2016 (XLSX) and then use the embedded content processing in the corresponding file type in Studio 2017.
    In your project settings, where you have the csv, go to File types, then to Excel 2007-2016, click on it, select Embedded content and activate it. Then remove the CSV and add the whole Excel. Your HTML codes in Excel will now be tags and you will be able to have a whole file in the end in a format easily storable as CSV. Of course provided your language is supported by the CSV - as CSV files are NOT Unicode...

  • Hi,
    I also wanted to address separately the problem of translating html files in Studio, can someone explain why I can't just add a html file into a project and then Batch Tasks > Prepare ? Is it because it is not a proper html document with proper html structure?
    Thanks,
    Chloé
