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

Hi MARIA-TERESA ALVAREZ-BENITO
Since Jerzy already pointed to two ways, I will point out another one...
Using the Glossary Converter, a free app from the SDL Appstore, you select "Sdl TM" as output format, drop the file on it and the job is done:
Select target format:
Select the direction of the TM:
Job done:
It really is that simple. Jerzy's solutions work just as well, but Olifant is the most tricky of the three mentioned here I would say.

Paul & Daniel: thanks for pointing this out 
Somehow I prefer not so automated solutions, but this is certainly an error. The Olifant is indeed quite tricky. The good about Olifant: you can edit the TMX. But TBH you can edit the Excel upfront, so GC is certainly the best here.
