If you just want to learn your LWT terms as the digital equivalent of simple, two-sided flashcards (e.g., a Spanish word on one side and its English translation on the other), the process is quick and simple without any initial set-up; all you need to do is import the terms and you're ready to go.
- Open Anki and, in the "Anki" window, click "Import File".

- Select the file you exported from LWT ("lwt_anki_export.txt" if you did not change the name) and click the "Open" button.

- In the "Import" window, click the "Type" button, select "Basic (and reversed card)", and click the "Choose" button.


- In the "Import" window, check "Allow HTML in fields".

- In the "Import" window's "Field mapping" section, change field 8's mapping to "Map to Tags". This will also automatically change field 3's mapping to "<ignored>".


- In the "Import" window, click the "Import" button. This will open a second "Anki" window that tells you how many notes were added.

- Close the second "Anki" window.

You're now ready to study your imported LWT terms as simple flashcards.

Does LWT or Anki work with right to left languages? No words are highlighted when I import a farsi text into LWT. Do I just have to do it manually?
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried any right-to-left languages myself, but this thread in the "Anki Users" Google group looks like a solution.
