Ah, I see what you're running into! Microsoft's Translator glossaries do support phrase replacements, but they can be a bit finicky. A few things to check:

  1. Formatting Issues in the TSV

    • Make sure your TSV file is truly tab-separated (some text editors might insert spaces instead).
    • Try opening the file in a plain text editor and ensure there’s exactly one tab between the source phrase and the replacement.
  2. Case Sensitivity

    • Microsoft's system can be case-sensitive sometimes. Try making your phrase replacements all lowercase and test again.
  3. Phrase Boundaries

    • Glossary replacements work best when the phrase appears as a standalone unit. If "Phrase To Replace" is embedded in a longer sentence, it might not trigger correctly.
  4. Encoding

    • Save the TSV file as UTF-8 without BOM if you haven't already. Some tools default to other encodings that might mess with how Translator reads it.
  5. Quotes Don’t Matter

    • You were right to test with and without quotes, but normally, quotes shouldn't be needed in the TSV.
  6. Re-upload & Clear Cache

    • Try re-uploading the glossary and restarting the app just in case it's caching an older version.

If none of that works, I’d test the same phrase with a simpler structure (just "test phrase" → "replacement") to see if it’s an issue with how Translator handles multi-word phrases in general.
