Separate translatable cells from formulas, identifiers and protected data. Provide editable files and identify relevant sheets. Check sheet labels, column widths and related references within the agreed scope after translation.
Inspect the format before promising deliverables
Source files affect translation and layout work. Provide editable originals and samples showing complex tables, images or structure. Identify editable text and protected content, then agree delivery formats. Content checking and format checking must work together. If an object cannot be edited, agree an annotation or alternative format with the client.
Preparation checklist
- Original file and relevant format or software.
- Translatable and protected components.
- Editable, viewing or publication deliverables.
- Structure, layout and content checks.
Illustrative scenario
A component label needs translation but the neighbouring cell looks up a code. The team protects the lookup and checks displayed results after the text changes.
Frequently asked question
Can the original layout always be reproduced exactly?
This is assessed from the files. Language expansion, fonts and non-editable objects may require a different approach.
