This is a great idea!
I've already tried it and exported my law glossary in my language pairs.
It's not a big deal, but when exporting, there are letters and accents like the "ç", or the tilde "~" in Portuguese that appear different.
It doesn't cause me too much trouble.
The important thing is to use this new feature that you have worked on and made available at the request of the members.
I like it!
Thank you again

Hi, expressisverbis,
Thank you so much for taking the time to test, and for letting me know. I'll pass this onto the development team, and we'll see what's happening there.
Thank you for your support of the site, and have a lovely rest of your day!

PERSONAL DEL SITIO PERSONA QUE INICIÓ LA HEBRA LOCALIZADOR DEL SITIO | Opening CSV files with Excel | Apr 12 |
Hi, to anyone keeping an eye on this thread!
Thanks to expressisverbis' kind help, we figured out that the issue was with Excel, which doesn't get along very well with CSV files.
We are still trying to make sure these instructions work on most versions of Excel, before we go ahead and add them to the site FAQ, but I believe the following steps should allow you to open these CSV glossaries on there without issue:

Thanks to expressisverbis' kind help, we figured out that the issue was with Excel, which doesn't get along very well with CSV files.
We are still trying to make sure these instructions work on most versions of Excel, before we go ahead and add them to the site FAQ, but I believe the following steps should allow you to open these CSV glossaries on there without issue:
1. Open Excel, rather than the CSV file itself, and head to the Data menu.
2. Under Get External Data, click From Text.
3. Select the CSV file for your glossary.
4. Choose the Delimited option.
5. Set the character encoding of the File Origin to 65001: Unicode (UTF-8) from the drop-down list.
6. Choose the delimiter: in our case, it is Tab or Tabulation.
7. If given the option to select a string delimiter —which can me a single quotation, two, or none— choose none.
8. Click to move on to the next step.
9. If they are set to a different data format, select all columns and set Column data format to Text.
10. Confirm and finish.
Opening the file with your plain text reader (the Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on a Mac) should work without a hitch, and other spreadsheet processors such as Libre Office or Google Docs can open them as well, but Excel can be a little finicky for CSVs, so we'll make sure to document these instructions once we're sure they're the best possible way to go about it.
Each CAT tool and terminology management software has its own steps, but you should be able to import your glossaries following the same principle:
1. Set delimiter to "tab" or "tabulation"
2. Set string delimiter to empty, or "none"
3. Set the character encoding to "UTF-8" or "65001: Unicode"
If you test it our with your own glossaries, let me know how it works out for you!
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, and happy translating! ▲ Collapse
