CafeTran

I have received a huge CSV file that needs to be translated. 

I have opened it in Excel and saved it as a .xlsx file. 

Now I need to open it in order to translate it in Cafe Tran, but nothing shows up... It's just completely blank. 

What am I doing wrong?

I need to translate only some of the columns, and I need the translations to just replace the original text that were in these columns in the finished document. 

I haven't been able to find any easy guide for doing this. 

Please help 

Hi Igor.

Well, before submitting a support ticket, I had hoped, that I had just missed out on a guide for newbies somewhere, that someone in here could either point me to or explain it to me. 

I downloaded the free version yesterday and am testing it to see if it is the right program for me before buying it, so I'm pretty sure it should be up to date. 

Hello Maria,

If the converted XLSX is blank in Microsoft Office, you need to check the conversion process. I use LIbreOffice for converting CSV to XSLX so I cannot help with that.

Once you have a working XSLX file, create a new project in CafeTran.

During the project creation, be sure to use the Filter options tab to set the columns you wish to use.

The official knowledge base - Solutions - is here: https://cafetran.freshdesk.com/support/solutions

There are also some additional reference documents aka TheCafeTranFiles (not necessarily for beginners, but for everyone). There are also listed in the above link.

The Excel Filter options are described here: https://github.com/idimitriadis0/TheCafeTranFiles/wiki/4-File-formats#ms-excel-xlsx

The new project creation dialog (including Filter options) is described here: https://github.com/idimitriadis0/TheCafeTranFiles/wiki/2-Menu-and-Interface#new-projectproject-configuration-dialog

If the segmentation is not as expected for the Excel file, you might need to change it in Edit > Preferences > General (if you use Sentence segmentation, try Paragraph or Document for Excel files). Explained here: https://github.com/idimitriadis0/TheCafeTranFiles/wiki/1-Preferences#segmentation

After changing the segmentation options, either create a new project or replace the current document (Project > Replace document).
