WordListConverter

WordListConverter (or wlc) is used to convert a word (or sentence) list with matching pairs of a given format to another one.
It was created specifically to just copy words from the babbel.com repetition menu and reformat them, so that the list can be imported to the ForgetMeNot app.

Before using the application, read the list of known bugs below.

Features

• Convert babbel.com repetition words to ForgetMeNot Q&A format.
• Deduplicate lists automatically.
• Manual deduplication by using the --qna flag and pointing source to a Q&A formatted file.
