Creating Simple Format CSV files
To import your Excel glossaries into WorldServer, you usually need to export them in a .csv format. This creates a Simple Format CSV file that you can import in the Delimited File: Simple Format mode. However, if your Excel glossaries are in a language that the Latin-1 character set cannot represent, you need to export the file in a Unicode format.
Procedure
- Open the Excel file that contains your glossary.
- In Excel, select
- Choose where you want to save your new file, and then do one of the following:
- If you want to export the file as a CSV file, in the Save as type list, select CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv).
- If you want to export the file in Unicode, in the Save as type list, select Unicode Text (*.txt).
- Select Save.
What to do next
You can now import the file into WorldServer.
