Translate an Excel file without breaking formulas
Upload your .xlsx and download the translated spreadsheet with the same sheets.
Your file is not uploaded. Only the text goes to Google Translate.
How to use it
- Choose the .xlsx file.
- Pick the target language and click Translate.
- Open the downloaded spreadsheet and check that column widths fit the new text.
How it works
Cell text is translated, including column headers and cells with partly bold text. Numbers, dates and formulas are not sent for translation, so calculations give the same results.
Colors, borders, column widths, filters and charts are kept. Sheet names are not translated, because formulas refer to them and would stop working.
Titles inside charts are not translated either.
FAQ
Are formulas translated?
No. Formulas and their results stay the same.
Does it work with old .xls files?
Not directly. Open the file in Excel and save it as .xlsx.
What about drop-down lists?
If the list values are written in cells of the spreadsheet, they are translated like any other cell.
Does it work with Google Sheets?
Yes. Download the sheet as .xlsx, translate it and upload it again.
