Configuring Simple Delimited Text file types
Specify how SDL Trados Studio extracts and displays text from files processed with the Comma Delimited Text file type, Tab Delimited Text file type, or any new Simple Delimited Text file type that you create.
About this task
SDL Trados Studio uses Simple Delimited Text file types to process files in which the text is divided into columns separated by special characters. Each line contains source text in one column and the corresponding translation in another column. Other examples of such files are *.csv files processed with the Comma Delimited Text file type or *.txt files processed with the Tab Delimited Text file type.
