Glossary and TM file format specs
Supported file formats for importing glossaries and translation memories into Taia.

XLSX (Excel spreadsheet)
A flat spreadsheet with one column per language. The first row must list exactly the glossary's language codes, in the glossary's order. Download the glossary's Export empty template to get the right header.

| Extension | .xlsx |
| Column structure | One column per language, first row = the glossary's language codes |
