Great news! It never occurred to me to use AWB for this, so I will try it out soon. Thanks for the feedback.
Elke,
My Excel štemplate is for translating the descriptions of Belgian Wallonia WLM lists. I will try to pare it down for one simple table example, such as for this (non-WLM, but same idea) one:
When I have it done I will send it to you by mail and see whether you can follow my Excal tabs!
So basic steps areš
1) Convert target list to numbered Excel lines
2) Using Excel template (consists of template table rows with extra column for numbered lines), extract the description text to be translated into extra tab with numbered lines
3) Dump the numbered lines into Google translate
4) Copy result into the extraction page and line up the numbers (and check the translations)
5) add, not replace, the translated descriptions line by line into the table rows (original description from cultural heritage agency is needed for proper attribution)
6) Adjust header/footers
