01
Before translation
A workbook may contain product names, notes, totals, lookup formulas, and hyperlinks in the same table. Those cell types should not all be sent to a translation model.
- Text cells become translation candidates
- Formula cells remain unchanged
- Numbers and dates remain unchanged
02
During translation
The browser builds a small, bounded request containing selected cell text only. The workbook buffer, file name, sheet name, styles, formulas, and workbook XML stay in the browser.
- No source-file upload endpoint
- Chunked requests with progress
- Pause, retry, and failure visibility
03
After export
The translated workbook is rebuilt locally so formulas, links, merges, and formatting can travel with the output. Always review a representative sample before production handoff.
