I have some legacy translations that I need to import into a Lingo TM as a baseline for future translations. The translations are stored as Source/Target columns in an Excel spreadsheet.
The topic 'Creating Alignment Projects' in the MadCap Align help doesn't include XLS files as a supported input format, however.
How would I go about importing the legacy translations?
Thanks
Hans

Re: How to perform align on bilingual XLS
While this isn't a Madcap-related solution, you could have just about any freelance translator do that task.
Most general translation applications (such as SDL Trados) include flexible alignment tools. You could break your XLS into 2 .doc or .txt files and then run those through the alignment tool.
