Hello,

I’ve been asked to give a quote on a project that has several Excel files.

-if not, if and how I can get SDL to take them into account in Reports View so that I know how long translating them will take me;

-and if and how I can get SDL to show them (directly in the Editor View segments of each file, preferably), so that I don’t have to copy and translate each of them separately – which probably means that I’ll decline the project.

Answers in plain, simple English preferred 😊

Thank you! ▲ Collapse
