Bookmarklet to export Leo Trainer words to an Anki deck.

Leo-Anki.js

/**
 * This bookmarklet makes it possible to transfer words from Leo Trainer to Anki.
 * It is configured for fr-de (French to German) translations, but can easily be
 * adapted to other languages.
 * 
 * Prerequisites:
 * - a Leo account (http://www.leo.org/) with a few words saved in the trainer
 * - an Anki account (https://ankiweb.net/account/register)
 * 
 * 1. Crunch the following code and add it to your bookmarks
 *    (see http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/bookmarklet.html)
 * 2. Run the bookmarklet
 *    (you might have to run it twice, as the first run will lead you to the correct Leo page)
 * 3. Import the downloaded file in Anki using \t as field separator and allowing HTML in fields

Hi @eriwst, I updated the code to make it easier to customize the languages. Is that working for you?

Hi @fbecart,

I'm hoping to use this process to download my Leo dictionary and add it to Anki (English to German). However, nothing seems to happen when using the follow script as a bookmarklet. Does anything need to be updated? All your help is much appreciated!

@paulwiniecki I just tested the bookmarklet, and it seems to be still working.

The code snippet you posted is hard to read because of incorrect markdown formatting. I can see however that you have made more modifications than needed, and this is likely the cause of your troubles.

I suggest you restart from the code I shared at the very top. You only need to change line 19, so that it looks like:

const fromLang = 'en';

@fbecart thank you so much for your prompt response. I was able to get it to work following your instructions.
