Export a table

Download a table as Excel, CSV or TSV, turn two of its columns into an Anki deck, copy it as Quizlet-style text, or save it as JSON.

By YalangoUpdated October 20, 2026

You can export a table whenever you want a backup, a copy to edit in a spreadsheet, flashcards for another app, or something to share outside Yalango. Every format is free.

Open the table and choose Export, or right-click it in My Library and choose Export Table. To export many tables at once, see Export from your library.

Spreadsheet (Excel, CSV, TSV)

Your column names become the first row, and each table row follows in order.

  • Excel (.xlsx) opens directly in Excel, Numbers and Google Sheets, with every value kept as text.
  • CSV - comma is the usual CSV and works with most tools.
  • CSV - semicolon is also a .csv file. Use it if your spreadsheet program is set to a locale where the comma is the decimal separator, which is common in Europe.
  • TSV - tab is saved as a .tsv file. It's the safest option when your content contains commas.

If a table opens in a single column, the separator is almost always the reason - export again with a different one, or choose Excel.

Anki (.apkg)

Each row becomes an Anki note. Pick the column for the front of the card and the column for the back - every other column is shown under the answer, labelled with its name. Rows with an empty front are left out, and the export tells you how many.

Exporting the same table again later and importing it into Anki updates the notes already there instead of adding duplicates.

Copy as text (Quizlet, Memrise and more)

Plain "term, definition" text for Quizlet's import box, Memrise, Knowt and most flashcard apps. Choose which column is the term and which is the definition, pick the separators, then copy to the clipboard or download a .txt file.

JSON

One structured file for scripts and other apps:

{
  "format": "yalango.table",
  "version": 1,
  "exported_at": "2026-10-16T12:00:00.000Z",
  "source_url": "https://yalango.com/tables/42",
  "table": {
    "id": 42,
    "name": "Verb endings",
    "description": "",
    "target_language": "es",
    "source_language": "en",
    "privacy": "private",
    "created_at": "2026-01-02T09:00:00.000Z",
    "updated_at": "2026-10-01T18:30:00.000Z"
  },
  "columns": [{ "id": 1, "name": "Infinitive" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Yo" }],
  "rows": [{ "id": "rowDocumentId", "values": { "1": "hablar", "2": "hablo" } }]
}

Each row's values are keyed by the column id.

Exporting someone else's public table

When you're signed in, you can export any public table - look for Export on the table's page.

Bringing it back in

An exported spreadsheet can be imported again, either into a new table or into a deck, where you choose which columns become the target and source sides. That's a practical way to turn one column pair from a large conjugation table into a drillable deck.
