We have a requirement of quoting for localising a website with hundreds of links. The client won't give us ready content and wants us to extract it. [/quote]
When you say "links", do you mean that the client has given you links to all the pages that must be downloaded and translated? In other words, the client isn't asking you to visit pages and then follow additional links on those pages to additional pages, but instead: the only pages that you must translate are the pages whose links you have?

Aah, so you'd still have to paste the content into Excel files (presumably source text in column A and target text in column B). Do you they want separate Excel files for each HTML file? Sheesh.

Thanks for your reply! Yes we have got a list of links to be translated, and I am assuming they are ok with us translating in HTML but need to check since they have specifically asked for excels
So this WinHTTrack will let me download all HTML files of all links provided, and then I need to translate them on our CAT right? How do we then export the content in Excel format if that's the only format client needs?
