I'm really outside of my comfort zone here. I'm trying to help myself a bit before AI is forced on us by converting one of my glossaries into a #CVS file that can be imported in the automatic translation tool.
However, I have terms with commas in them. It breaks the formatting and kills those equivalents.
I'm trying to understand the quotes, and how to isolate my commas, but I don't understand the explanations I find (so many quotations marks!!).
I think using a different separator than a comma would also work.
@stephanie excel should export thst cleanly to csv (cvs en français) and add the quotes as needed and « escape » the commas so they don’t mess up reading them. Csv really is a plaintext format and excel doesn’t always read it properly. That said. Preparing a machine readable format shouldn’t be your job… making a xlsx file should be lots
@stephanie for a few minutes I thought it was a receipt meme, CVS is known for giving you your own heights worth of receipt paper when you buy a pack of gum. 🤣
