Words to Readlang converts vocabulary exports from language learning apps into the CSV format that Readlang accepts for word import. Currently supported sources are Pod101 (FinnishPod101, SpanishPod101, etc.) and Language Reactor (Netflix/YouTube vocabulary).
Use the Search Words button in the navigation bar to find a word across all your uploads. If the same word appears in multiple uploads with different translations, you'll see an amber "Translations differ" warning. You can delete the entry from any individual upload you don't want it in, then export each file separately.
Your uploads are tied to a session, identified by a
memorable four-word magic phrase (e.g. silver-forest-apple-jump).
The phrase is set the first time you upload a file and stored in a cookie.
Write down your phrase! If you clear your browser cookies or visit from a different device, you can re-enter the phrase on the home page to recover access to all your uploads. Sessions are kept for one year from last use.
Readlang requires that the example sentence contains the exact vocabulary word. After upload, each entry is checked:
Use Fetch Missing Examples on the preview page to automatically search Tatoeba and the Leipzig Corpora Collection for suitable sentences. You can also edit any entry inline. Entries that are still invalid at export time are excluded automatically.
Click Export to Readlang on the preview page. The tool
generates one or more CSV files, each containing at most 200 valid entries.
If an upload has more than 200 valid entries the files are named
output (part 1).csv, output (part 2).csv, etc.
Upload them one by one to Readlang's word import page.
