    Hi Leon,

    We actually do. :) Have you had a look at this video? 

    http://www.wordbee.com/resources/video-tutorials/multilingual-excel-files/

    These types of configuration are easy to set up in "Settings" > "Document formats" > "MS Excel"

    This configuration I already know.

    What I'm talking about is a development of this capability. So that Wordbee automatically creates a multilingual file, according to the project - without me defining the template beforehand.

    For example, if I have a two projects:

    1. source is French, and the targets are German and Spanish
    2. source is English and the targets are Italian, Portuguese and Arabic

    So, I only create one *flexible* configuration, where I tell:

    1. Put the source language in column A
    2. Put the target language in the columns next to A

    So, for the first project I'd get:

    A - French

    B - German

    B- Spanish

    And for the second one:

    A - English

    B - Italian

    C - Portuguese

    D - Arabic

    And all this using one configuration.

    Hi,

    Adding something else to Leon's suggestion... The Document Format Configuration would ask... 

    • for the Column to read the Source Text
    • the starting Column to write the Target Languages text
    • (if defined) row to place the language code for source and target languages defined above.

    This is much elegant than reserving a specific column for each language, where Client should have the source text in Column J and Target Languages in Columns F, Z and AC, meanwhile comments could be in Column B.

     

    Regards,

    Antonio
