Import

1. What is the format of the dictionaries to import?

The application can import words from the .CSV (Semicolon or comma separated values) extension files. You can create them in almost any spreadsheet application like MS Excel, Google Docs, Calc in OpenOffice, etc. It handles system encoding as well as UTF-8 encoding (recommended). The order of values in the file and their significance for the program is shown in the following general format:
1st column 2nd column 3rd column 4th column
1st row Dictionary name
2nd row Name of Language From Name of Language To Dictionary description Difficulty, one value of EASY, MEDIUM, HARD or it is ignored
3rd - xth row Word From Word To Note Priority, value in range from 0 to 100
1st and 2nd row and 3rd and 4th column is optional. Empty rows are ignored. The result might look like this in a minimalist form:
1st column 2nd column
1st row dog pes
2nd row car auto
or like this:
1st column 2nd column
1st row My dictionary
2nd row English Czech
3rd row dog pes
