CSV Translation Services for E-Commerce and CRM Systems
CSV files carry product catalogs, CRM exports, localization data, and database content.
Data File Translation
Column-Level Control for CSV Translation
A CSV file is a structured data format where each column has a specific purpose. In an e-commerce product catalog, columns like product_id, sku, price, and stock_quantity must not be translated. Columns like product_name, description, short_description, and meta_description all need accurate translation. Without column-level translation control, you risk corrupting your database import.
BeTranslated performs a column mapping step before every CSV translation project. You identify the columns that require translation and the columns that must be locked. Translators receive only the translatable columns. The delivered CSV maintains the original column order, delimiter, encoding, and quoting conventions, making it a drop-in replacement for the source file.
What We Handle
.csv Translation: Key Capabilities
Column Mapping
You specify which columns require translation and which must remain unchanged. Only the identified columns are sent to translators. All other data values are locked.
Delimiter and Encoding Preservation
Comma, semicolon, tab, and pipe delimiters are preserved as-is. UTF-8, UTF-16, and Windows-1252 encodings are matched to the source file.
Identifier and SKU Protection
Product IDs, SKUs, URLs, image filenames, and numeric values are locked against modification throughout the translation workflow.
Large Volume Processing
CSV files with thousands of rows are processed in batch with consistent terminology applied across all rows using a project glossary.
What Our Clients Say
“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”

Common Questions
.csv Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about translating CSV Data files.
Include a simple column header list or a brief note with your submission, listing the column names or numbers that require translation. If your CSV has a header row, just list the header names of the translatable columns. For repeat projects with the same format, we save the column mapping so you do not need to provide it each time.
Yes. E-commerce product descriptions often contain HTML tags inside CSV cells. We preserve the HTML markup and translate only the visible text content within the tags, ensuring the translated cell is syntactically identical to the source.
Properly quoted CSV cells that contain commas, line breaks, or quotation marks are handled correctly by our parser. If your CSV is malformed or uses a non-standard quoting convention, we will flag this before translation begins and confirm the correct handling with you.
