KVocTrain can read and write the following file formats:
Its native xml-style document type with the extension .kvtml.
If you want to share documents with others use this one as it is the only file format that is capable of containing all the properties in KVocTrain.
Vocabulary files from vocabbox which is the leanest vocabulary trainer I know. I recommend this application if you need a really compact one.
Files created by Vocabulary Trainer This is an application for Microsoft® Windows®. It uses the file extension lex. Unfortunately the link to the original files at Compuserve is dead but there may still be files available elsewhere so I kept it.
Simple text files with special delimiters between the entries which are also used by simple database programs. The extension is csv in this case. KVocTrain also detects if those files are encoded in UTF8 since such files are also available to preserve the correct characters, see more about this in the section about encodings and charsets.
There are a lot of dictionaries on the internet which use the tabular character or one or two colons to separate the different languages. To select this separator use the dialog for setting the clipboard options.
KVocTrain reads the first few bytes from a file and makes a guess about the file format. When none of the special types like kvtml or lex are recognized, it uses the csv format.
