Weird Problem While Translating CSV Files Thread poster: spiritfly

|---|
Hello,
I'm new to SDL Trados Studio 2009, but I have managed to understand it as much as I need to. I have about 20 CSV files which should be translated. The thing is that when I open the CSV in the Editor in Trados, they don't convert correctly. There are some sentences which containt a comma in them, but they are in quotes, and Trados just won't reckognize the quotes as text qualifiers like Excel does for example. It simply treats the comma as a separator and brings the rest of the sentences into the second column.
There are many sentences like that. What should I do, any suggestions?
Regards.

| Why don't you open those in Excel, save as xls, then translate? | Aug 24, 2011 |
How about translating in Studio as xls, then export and save them back into csv?

Project Settings - File Types - CSV - Format = "Text is enclosed in quotes"
There, I ticked that and everything is all right.
Now that I have your attention.. I have another set of already translated CSV files, and most of the terms are about 70-100% match to the ones I need to translate.
How should I use the translated CSV's in Trados? Add them as Termbase, Memory ..What? And how? (sorry mentioned I'm beginning with this)
