Not a question. But rather a solution to a very annoying problem that exists with LR exports to Anki. Scoured internet, reddit and this forum but found nothing concrete.
There’s no way to control for anki exports for if you want TL at the front or the back. For me it works better if my decks are TL front and English at the back but there was no way i found on the internet that solved this for me. Took me 3 hours to figure this out (call me dumb if you want) but disappointment on the devs part for not even acknowledging this concern when it was previously mentioned in many other posts as well.
I was able to figure it out with a bit of tinkering around and with the help of ChatGPT and i will try to summarize this as clearly as i can.
First, select the Deck
Then,
- Open Browse
- Select all notes
- In the top menu, click Notes.
- Click Find and Replace
- In Find, paste: {{c1::(.?)::(.?)}}
- In Replace With , paste: {{c1::$2::$1}}
- Choose the field that contains your cloze text (Should be just Cloze with LR exports).
- Check all other check boxes.
- Click Replace All.
This should flip the TL and NL text in the cards. This will only work on your existing notes in the deck. YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS EACH TIME YOU EXPORT NEW CARDS INTO ANKI
If you want to flip the audio as well, i.e., hear audio with your TL at the front of the card, do this:
- Open Browse
- Click on Cards
- Open Back Template
- You should see this : {{Audio Clip}}
- Remove it from Back Template and paste the same in Front Template
Let me know if this works for you guys.
