Electronic file formats

Our translators are able to process the following types of electronic files for use on Microsoft Windows® platforms.

If the type of file you want to send us is not included here, please get in touch and we'll see if we can open and process it using our software tools.

• Microsoft Office 97/2000/2002/XP/2003 (= Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access)
• 
  
• Microsoft Office 2007 or later (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)
• 
  
• OpenOffice (.odt, .ods, .odp, etc.)
• 
  
• PDF files *
  
  * If your PDFs are not password-protected, we can generally either export the content of these into new Word files, which we can then translate, or create new Word files using OCR software.
