HOWTO

How to build a deck file?

The deck file is a JSON file, with the following schema:

• name: It is the name of the deck, shown in Anki. It will be concatenated with the language, to avoid duplicity, if you want to export multiple languages;
• fileName: It is the file name. It will be concatenated with the language, to avoid duplicity;
• flashcards: The collection of words in Luxembourgish you want to export;
• languages: The collection of languages you want to export to. The possible values are: ALL (German), EN (English), FR (French), and PO (Portuguese);
• types: The collection of word types you want to export. lod-anki will filter the flashcards (or words), and export only the ones matching the types in this list. This field is optional. noun, verb, preposition, conjunction, adjective, and adverb are supported by this tool.

Below you can see an example:

{
    "name": "Greeting in Luxembourgish",
    "fileName": "greeting_in_luxembourgish",
    "flashcards": [
        "Äddi",
        "Awar",
        "Awuer",
        "Bonjour",
        "Moien"
    ],
    "languages": [
        "ALL",
        "EN",
        "FR",
        "PO"
    ]
}

When building the deck, put the words in lowercase. But if it is a noun, capitalize the first character, as it is in Luxembourgish.
