Unable to import files to termbase

Post by mfdencolo »

I am new to Lingo so I hope my explanation makes sense.

I am attempting to import a file to a termbase that I created. I tried the process with a .xlsx and a .csv file and the results are the same. none of the entries appear to be imported yet I am not getting any error messages. There is nothing fancy or odd in the file: a few columns and a few rows. I tried with an English- only file and with the same file where I added the French equivalents for the English head term. I've tried to follow the steps described in the user guide as close as possible.

I am trying to work with Lingo independently from any translation project. My goal is to import large files and add some entries manually as needed.

One thing that appears odd when I run the import is that once I have selected a Term Property for the columns in the file, I cannot a value in the next column except for the top row (where I select English). For the other rows my only options are All or the letter "A".

Thanks and regards
