Excel files with embedded images

Yuji Yamamoto over 9 years ago

When preparing Excel files with embedded images in Studio 2014/2015, they tend to encounter the following problem.

Images (and possibly macros) are converted into long strings in the resulting sdlxliff, and it takes unusually long to process these files.

Is this a known issue?

Hi Yuji,

Could you show an example of what you mean?
It sounds like you are referring to the "Alternative Text" in Excel files. Also, please show the structure tag shown in Trados.

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, the files with the problems are confidential. I'm hoping to reproduce the problem with a non-confidential file, but at this moment, I have no clue about the exact conditions causing this.
They are nothing to do with "Alternative text."
When sdlxliffs are generated from Excel files, images in Excel are encoded into text strings. Usually, these text-encoded images should be hidden. But in some cases, they are misinterpreted as text, and they form super-large TUs. This is taking the time for the analysis.

I'll let you know about the structure information that is allocated for these TUs when I find them next time.
