The import mechanism allows you to populate the dictionary with data from a CSV file. This makes it possible to edit the dictionary content in any program and then transfer the result to Eximee Designer.
Rules for CSV import:
only CSV files can be imported,
the separator in the file must be a comma,
the CSV file must have a first row with a header that specifies the column names:
the "key" column must be first,
the remaining columns specify languages, e.g. key,pl,en,
keys and languages must be unique,
the import operation completely overwrites the dictionary content — existing keys and languages before import will be deleted.

Import is possible on an existing request in edit mode. To make the data appear in a new dictionary, first create that dictionary (instructions: Creating a new dictionary).
