CSV Import / Bulk Vocabulary Import

Feature suggestion: CSV Import / Bulk Vocabulary Import I’d like to suggest adding a CSV Import feature for vocabulary. At the moment, words can only be added manually, one by one. You have to enter the target-language word, add or confirm its translation, and then save it. This becomes extremely time-consuming when working with larger vocabulary lists. For example, when I study Turkish using a textbook, each unit often has a list of active vocabulary that I need to learn. Adding 30–50 words manually for every unit takes a lot of unnecessary time. What makes this especially confusing is that the app already supports CSV Export. Users can export all of their vocabulary from the app as a CSV file, but there is currently no way to import that CSV file back into the app. I think adding CSV Import would be a very useful and natural extension of the existing functionality. How it could work: 1. The user prepares a CSV file with their vocabulary. 2. The file contains, for example: Target language Native-language translation Optional additional fields, if supported 3. The user selects Import CSV. 4. The app previews the words and allows the user to check the data. 5. The user confirms the import. 6. All vocabulary is added to the selected deck at once. This would be particularly useful for users who: study vocabulary from textbooks or courses; already have vocabulary lists in Excel, Google Sheets, or CSV format; want to migrate vocabulary from another app; use ChatGPT or other tools to prepare vocabulary lists; need to add dozens or hundreds of words at once. For example, I could prepare a vocabulary list with the help of another tool, save it as a CSV file, and import the entire list into the app in a few seconds instead of manually adding every single word. I think this feature would save users a significant amount of time and make the app much more convenient for serious language learners. Possible names: CSV Import Bulk Import Import Vocabulary Bulk Vocabulary Import Import from CSV My preference would be Import from CSV or Bulk Vocabulary Import. If the app can export my vocabulary as a CSV file, it would be great if it could also import vocabulary from the same format.
