Document Translation for Supplier Catalogues
Supplier price lists arrive as workbooks full of codes, units and formulas. Article numbers and quantities are copied through verbatim; only the descriptions change language.
What Survives When You Translate Excel (.xlsx)
- Formulas never reach the model and are never rewritten: =SUM(B2:B40) comes back byte for byte, still calculating against the same cells.
- Numbers, currency codes and cell number formats are copied through verbatim, and a verify stage rejects a translated segment whose digits do not match the source. Dates keep their digits; month names are translated.
- Sheet names, merged ranges, column widths, conditional formatting and defined names are untouched. Only text nodes are replaced.
- A cell holding two languages can be handled three ways: replace everything, replace one language, or append the translation beneath the original.

What This Does Not Do
- Text baked into a chart image or a picture pasted onto a sheet is a picture, not a cell, and is left as it is.
- Anything the verify stage cannot confirm falls back to the source text, visible and untranslated. A file that looks finished but is not is the one outcome we will not ship.
Questions
- Is the translated Excel (.xlsx) still a working file?
- Formulas never reach the model and are never rewritten: =SUM(B2:B40) comes back byte for byte, still calculating against the same cells.
- What happens to my file afterwards?
- Uploaded and generated files are automatically deleted within 24 hours, and are never used to train a model.
Try It on Your Own File
No card and no per-file character minimum. If a segment cannot be translated confidently you will see it fall back, rather than a green tick over a guess.
