Importing Excel-File for whole Project

Post by ix07 »

Hi.

I am having some trouble importing a translated excel-table, maybe you can assist?

I saved all strings for my project using "Save/LoadTranlsation/Save Project" (using the TsiLang-Expert) to a ".SIL" file. After that I opened that file in the external SIL-Editor and exported them as an Excel-file. That file was translated by a professional translation-company and returned to me. Now I am trying to reimport that file, but unfortunately all russian characters appear either as "???" or as some garbage - regardless of my setting for the charset (I tried DEFAULT_CHARSET & RUSSIAN_CHARSET). The characters appear correctly in the excel-file.

Can you help?

Thanks!

Regards
Eike Petersen

Do you use the latest version of SIL Editor? If yes, could you please send us this Excel file for testing?

Thank you for sending the file.
Just add RUSSIAN_CHARSET and Tahoma for the Russian language under Default Fonts settings. And the file should be imported properly.
Best regards,
