Help needed for: Alfred + Dictionary + Anki

[juch3059]

I am looking for someone who could eventually help me to create a workflow to make my language learning process much easier. What I want is a fusion product between 2 Workflows already existing  " Linguee.de" and "Anki by bikenik". It should automatically add the word searched from the dictionary to the Anki Deck for the Language.

Do you have links to the workflows?

Yes. 
1. Linguee - alexander-heimbuch/linguee-alfred-workflow: Dictionary workflow for Alfred based on linguee.de (github.com)

2. Anki -  bikenik/alfred-anki: Create New Cards into any decks with any "Note Type". (github.com)

 

I want to mention that I am totally fine with ANY dictionary Workflow.  I just like the Linguee Workflow, as it is very easy to use. What I want from the Workflow is something like:

 

Input:

1. " de Butterfly " 

2. Select Command+1 for the translation to be stored in the Anki Deck "English- Deutsch"

 

In Anki it should be stored like:

Q: Butterfly 

A: Schmetterling, Falter, Tagfalter

 

 

My goal is to store every Word I look up for along with its translation in the Anki Deck to revise at a later point

It looks like the Anki workflow has an External Trigger you can call to add a card, which is ideal.

 

You'll have to edit the Linguee workflow to format its output in a way acceptable to the Anki workflow, and to wire them up. If you know Go, you could build a custom version of the binary, otherwise you could write a wrapper script that tweaks the JSON returned by the current binary.

 

That should be doable. I can't test it out myself because I don't have Anki and an online Anki account.
