Giorgos Ches:

i attach a .txt files which anki software (which is the most popular for learners) reads and can import. you could also use this format to import automatically words to the tabe. so all the words that i have learned in anki will always appeared translated on the web plus random chosen of the extension.

c2 voc.txt

@ankit-m Which format are you using for importing and exporting backups of the options? Are user-defined translations exported as well?

[rohankatyal29]

@ceilican - txt is used for importing and exporting backups and the user defined translations are exported as well

@rohankatyal29 as far as I know, the Anki format is a txt file with a particular simple syntax that is used by the anki software. I don't know how many users actually use Anki. So far, in all these years, only one user requested this feature. If this is so, it probably doesn't make sense to invest time in this particular feature in a narrow sense. In any case, the broader idea that we should consider importing and exporting data in a text format that is understood by other language learning is worth thinking about, if we know of a format that is widely used by users.
