Hello Everybody,

Can someone know how to use Google Sheets in Trados? I mean that I don't have to write everything back in Google Sheets after translation work.

Thanks a lot.

Does anybody have any experience with this process?

Risky business Feb 7, 2022

It is true that Google Sheets can be shared (through a private link), but it is rather unusual for a Google Sheet to be shared for translation purposes.

The first link seems very relevant to me. Indeed, the prospective client needs to export the file from his/her Google account and make the file available for the translator. Then, it can be imported in Studio. Seemingly, older versions of Studio might present some challenges with the task.
