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.
