What stays intact when GLOTX translates your Excel file
Formulas, numbers, and dates
Only cell text is translated. Formulas keep calculating, references don't break, and your figures stay figures.
Every sheet in one pass
Text is translated across all worksheets in the workbook — no copying sheets out one by one.
Layout and styles
Column widths, cell styles, and the structure of your tables are kept; only the wording changes.
Context-aware AI translation
Column headers, labels, and product descriptions are translated the way a human would write them, with terminology kept consistent across the whole workbook.
Translate an Excel file into more than 35 languages
Auto-detect reads the source language — you only choose the output. English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and many more, in any direction.
