Definitions instead of translations on flashcards
Moonbeam
Please add an option to use a short definition instead of a translation (sometimes the translation is not appropriate). I want to rely on definitions, but since the app doesn’t support this, I have to manually copy them from an explanation below. Since you use AI, what’s the obstacle to adding a simple setting for this? I’d also like to convert my existing cards (about 1,500), but doing it manually is a nightmare.

Support an English-to-English setup for the word sets

The current setting in a card set is English (language to learn) to German (direct translation to mother tongue). Alternatively, the German translation can be replaced by the English definition. I’ve found this more effective for learning than traditional translation methods.

Hi Daria! 🙂 This idea already exists in Canny and has a solid base of upvotes, so I’ll merge yours into it to consolidate the votes and keep everything organized. ✌️ You can find it under the name: Definitions instead of translations on flashcards. Michaela from DuoCards

Michaela, thank you so much for fast reaction! I'm glad to be not alone with that idea. Unf, I'm experiencing an issue to find it. An AI generated the answer that it is not provided feature:
" Changing Card Set Settings
I apologize, but currently there isn't a direct option to change a card set from translation mode to definition mode. DuoCards is primarily designed for language learning through translations."
Please, lmk if there are any misunderstanding. Thank you!

Daria Pshychenko: Hi Daria, what I meant is that the merged topic is called like that. So by answering you are already in it. 😉 Michaela
