Data file translation

Column-Level Control for CSV Translation

A CSV file is a structured data format where each column has a specific purpose. In an e-commerce product catalog, columns like product_id, sku, price, and stock_quantity must not be translated. Columns like product_name, description, short_description, and meta_description all need accurate translation. Without column-level translation control, you risk corrupting your database import.

We perform a column mapping step before every CSV translation project. You identify the columns that require translation and the columns that must be locked. Translators receive only the translatable columns. The delivered CSV maintains the original column order, delimiter, encoding, and quoting conventions, making it a drop-in replacement for the source file.

CSV exports sometimes support official files, such as customer lists or transaction records requested in a state court case. Where a certified translation is needed, we can supply it with a signed certificate of accuracy. Data-review meetings with international colleagues can be supported by our interpretation services.

What You Get

Key Features of CSV File Translation

Column Mapping

You specify which columns require translation and which must remain unchanged. Only the identified columns are sent to translators. All other data values are locked.

Delimiter and Encoding Preservation

Comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe delimiters are preserved as-is. UTF-8, UTF-16, and Windows-1252 encodings are matched to the source file.

Identifier and SKU Protection

Product IDs, SKUs, URLs, image filenames, and numeric values are locked against modification throughout the translation workflow.

Large Volume Processing

CSV files with large numbers of rows are processed in batch with consistent terminology applied across all rows using a project glossary.

Questions About CSV Translation

How Do I Tell You Which Columns to Translate?
Include a simple column header list or a brief note with your submission, listing the column names or numbers that require translation. If your CSV has a header row, just list the header names of the translatable columns. For repeat projects with the same format, we save the column mapping so you do not need to provide it each time.
Can You Handle CSV Files with HTML Markup Inside Cells?
Yes. E-commerce product descriptions often contain HTML tags inside CSV cells. We preserve the HTML markup and translate only the visible text content within the tags, ensuring the translated cell is syntactically identical to the source.
How Do You Handle CSV Files with Special Characters and Line Breaks Inside Cells?
Properly quoted CSV cells that contain commas, line breaks, or quotation marks are handled correctly by our parser. If your CSV is malformed or uses a non-standard quoting convention, we will flag this before translation begins and confirm the correct handling with you.
