Import a CSV file

To load words from Excel or Numbers, export your word table as CSV.

Supported columns:

  1. word in the source language (required)
  2. translation in the learning language (required)
  3. part of speech
  4. word transcription
  5. and 6. phrase and translation — these two columns must follow each other.
