Example: Translate Japanese to English

The following examples show translated quotations. You can see that our translations are very fluent while the Excel formats remain unchanged.

Before Translation (Left Side):

This Excel spreadsheet is carefully and meticulously prepared in Japanese. It contains a detailed quotation laid out, including all the necessary terms, conditions, pricing, and contact information that a client would need.

After Translation (Right Side):

The English version of the spreadsheet keeps all the important details. Now English-speaking customers can understand it. Every word and number is translated very accurately. This makes sure the quotation is clear and looks professional.

Best Practices for Excel Translation

Use Clear Header Labels: Label your columns and rows with descriptive, concise text. This ensures more accurate translations, especially for specialized terms (e.g., finance or medical data).
Keep Each Concept in a Separate Cell: Avoid merging multiple concepts in one cell. Splitting text logically helps the AI model provide context-aware translations, reducing confusion or truncated text.
Use UTF-8 Encoding for CSV: When working with CSV files, always ensure they are saved in UTF-8 format. This helps avoid garbled characters and improves accuracy for non-Latin alphabets such as Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic.
Handle Formulas Carefully: By default, doc2lang will not convert or alter your formulas (they remain in the original language). If you need to maintain the same formula logic in a new language, you can keep them intact or manually adjust functions that vary by locale (e.g., some Excel locales use "SEM" instead of "WEEKNUM").
Review Non-Text Elements: Graphs, images, and embedded charts in Excel might not automatically translate text labels if they are part of an image. Convert them to text-based labels (when possible) to ensure they are included in the translation.
Avoid Placing Text in Merged Cells: Merged cells often lead to inconsistent text extraction and can confuse the translation process. If you need to merge cells for layout purposes, try keeping the key text in a single, unmerged cell, then adjust the rest of the layout as needed. This ensures the translator reads and processes your content accurately.

The FAQ on Excel Spreadsheet Translation

What Excel formats are supported?

Doc2Lang is compatible with all major Excel formats including XLAM, XLSM, XLSX, XLTM, and XLTX.

Can your website translate CSV files?

Yes, our website supports the translation of CSV files. The translation process is identical to that for Excel files. Simply upload your CSV file to get started.

What should I do if the translated CSV file has encoding issues (such as garbled text) when opened?

Our translated CSV files are saved in UTF-8 format. If you experience any encoding issues (such as garbled text) when opening the file, you can try one of the following solutions: 1) Open the file in Google Docs by signing in to your Google account, going to Google Drive, clicking 'New' and then 'File upload' to upload the translated CSV file, and double-clicking the uploaded file to open it with Google Sheets; 2) Open the file in Excel by opening a new Excel workbook, going to the 'Data' tab and clicking 'From Text/CSV', selecting the translated CSV file and choosing 'UTF-8' as the file origin in the import wizard, and clicking 'Load' to open the file.

Does Doc2Lang support translation of images within documents?

Currently, we do not support the translation of images embedded in documents. However, we value your needs and feedback. If you require this service, please contact us. High demand will prioritize the development and release of this feature.

Can I check the translation quality before making a payment?

Yes, absolutely. At Doc2Lang, we understand the importance of confidence in our service. That's why we offer a preview feature that allows you to download a sample of your document's translation before you commit to a purchase. This sample will translate a portion of your document, giving you a glimpse into the translation quality to make an informed decision.

How is Doc2Lang different from Excel’s built-in translation?

Unlike the limited cell-by-cell translation in Excel, Doc2Lang offers full-document translation, ensuring contextual accuracy and maintaining the original layout.

What makes Doc2Lang superior to Google Translate and DeepL?

Doc2Lang utilizes the advanced capabilities of ChatGPT to provide nuanced, context-aware translations that maintain the integrity of your document's message better than Google Translate or DeepL.

How does Doc2Lang protect my privacy and security?

Your confidentiality is our priority. Users have the option to delete their files from our servers immediately after translation, ensuring your data's security.

Are all components translated?

No, certain elements like formulas, notes, and images are exempt from translation. Formulas won't be converted in the translated document. Additionally, any notes present in the file remain untranslated, and the original notes appear in the translated version. Text within images is also not translated, and the original images will be shown in the translated document.

Are formulas or pivot tables translated?

Our platform retains formulas but does not alter their syntax. For instance, if a function name is in English, it remains as-is in the translated document. This approach prevents accidental errors in spreadsheet calculations. Pivot tables or macros also remain intact but are not linguistically translated.

Does doc2lang handle large Excel workbooks with thousands of rows?

Yes. We can handle large workbooks, though the processing time may increase proportionally with file size. If you have extremely large files, consider splitting them into smaller segments for faster translation and easier review.

Can I translate Excel files that contain macros or VBA code?

While the system preserves macros, doc2lang does not parse or translate VBA code. The structure of your macros should remain intact, but any comments or text strings inside the code itself may not be automatically converted.
