Move your phrases from the extension to the app

Your extension phrasebook comes over in one click: phrases, tags, notes on both sides of the card, and mastery levels. You can import any time, once, and the imported cards don't count toward the Free plan's card limit.

Before you start

• Use Chrome on the computer where the extension is installed.
• Make sure the extension is up to date. Chrome updates extensions automatically; if the import option doesn't work, restart Chrome and try again.

Steps

1. Sync your phrasebook. Open your Google Translate saved phrases once, so the extension has your latest list.
2. Open the app at app.translateflashcards.com in the same Chrome window and sign in with Google.
3. Go to the Library, open the ⋮ menu and choose Import from Extension. It's a one-time move: phrases you save in Google Translate afterward won't come over, so save new ones in the app.
4. Check your phrases. You'll see how many were imported. Duplicates are skipped automatically.

That's it. Your phrases are now in your account, and you can review them on your phone, tablet or any other computer.

What's different in the app

• New names. Review Mode is the Review tab. Browsing and filtering your phrases by tag or level happens in the Library.
• Two answer buttons. Each card is Correct or Incorrect; there's no Difficult button.
• Swipe on your phone. Right if you got it, left if you didn't. On a computer, the arrow keys work as they do in the extension.
• Save new phrases in the app. Phrases you save in Google Translate after importing won't come over.

Troubleshooting

• "No response from the extension." Make sure the extension is installed and enabled in this Chrome profile, then reload the app and try again.
• "No phrasebook data found." Open your Google Translate saved phrases once, wait for the list to load, then try again.
