Hi,
I have an Excel file, 2 columns, source and target languages, and I need to use it as a TM. How can I do that? I use Trados 2019.
Can you explain all the steps?
Thanks

Many solutions. The easiest would be using the bilingual Excel file type, confirming all segments and updating the TM. This way each corresponding pair of cells will be a TU in TM.
You can also store the file as tab delimited text, use Olifant to create a new TMX, place the txt there, store and use this for creating a TM.
Otherwise you can also separate the columns in two Excel files and align these.

The easiest may be the Glossary Converter... can go directly to an SDLTM with a drag and drop.

Hi. "The easiest would be using the bilingual Excel file type, confirming all segments and updating the TM. This way each corresponding pair of cells will be a TU in TM."
Can you tell me the steps? I don't know how to do that.
this has not worked in my case: simple 2 column Excel file, that I have tried to convert both into TM and TB, but I have always get an error. I find upsetting that Trados does not have a reliable glossary converter.
Your post isn't helpful if you want a sensible response. This thread is also two years old, and the Glossary Converter is very reliable!
I suggest you create a new thread and provide the following:
