nice one it's an excel file

Ken Cox Nov 15, 2008:

by the way... You can sometimes get an indication of whether a document is a translation or was written by a non-native speaker by checking the language setting of the text and the language setting of the default document style (the Normal style -- select 'Style' in the Format menu and then select 'Normal' in the list of styles). Many people (probably the majority of Word users) set the language attribute of text directly instead of setting the style attribute, and most people set the default language of Word to their native language.

taken on board I must say I was a bit confused about this word. I thought it could have a different meaning in this context that I am not familiar with. I'd better check it with the client then. Thanks for your advice!

ask the client If you know what country this originated from, or even better the native language of the author or the source language if it is a translation, and you give us that information, someone familiar with the language may be able to guess the intended meaning. Otherwise all guesses will be just that (IMHO), and your best course is to ask the client for clarification.
