It worked for me.

My way to work around this problem is;
- Open the Excel file then save it as XML spreadsheet 2003
- Open the XML spreadsheet in Trados and compete translation then save the translation file as XML spreadsheet
- Open the translation file (XML spreadsheet) in Excel then save it as Excel book.

There may be unwanted lines produced in Trados but it is the best way I figured out for now.

If there are many words which do not need to be translated contained in the source file, I recommend to extract only what needs to be translated to a new file to use in Trados.

My work setting is;
- Windows 10
- Trados Studio 2011 SP2
- MS Office 2016

I hope it helps a bit.

Michiru,

I realize your post is now 6 years old, but I just started having the same problem and your answer saved the day. Thanks!
