when working with external translation agencies (or external translators), it would be helpful to download/upload translations in XLSX since many users work with Excel.
I've tried to use the CSV download, but Excel has giant problems with creation of a compatible CSV for the upload in Weblate.
I am thinking of the following workflow:
- export the translations from weblate via "Files -> Download translations as XLSX"
- send this XLSX file to our external translators
- receive the modified XLSX file
- upload the XLSX file via "Files -> Upload translations"

There was fork of Weblate adding Excel export/import, but it was never submitted for merging and quickly looking at it I have found several specific hacks specific to their usage (but I might have been wrong). Anyway it probably could be used as starting point for implementing something what could be merged: https://github.com/dontnod/weblate/commits/dev
