The Delimited Text File Type handles text-based assets that have defined delimiters, such as comma-separated or tab-delimited formats. By default, it recognizes the
.csv and
.txt file extensions.
You can configure some aspects of SDL file types in
Management > Linguistic Tool Setup
> Filter Configurations.
Character Delimited Text Settings
Settings for text files in which the text is divided into columns: each column is separated by characters, and each line contains source text in one column and a corresponding translation in another column. Examples are Comma Delimited Text (.csv) files, and Tab Delimited Text (.txt) files. Text documents that are delimited by regular expressions, rather than divided into columns, are specified by the Regular Expression Delimited Text (Text) Studio File Type.
