 * Simply said no you can’t for now (unless you write it for yourself).
 * However in the next version I’ve changed the dictionary to a custom post type
   so with an external plugin you should be able to mass import words.
 * **edit**: typo

 * Hi there,
 * Could you please give me more details on plugins for bulk imports?
    I have tried
   to use the Ultimate CSV Importer plugin and I am only able to select Explanatory
   Dictionary as a custom post type for the ID column. I therefore get an error 
   when trying to import as I can’t select a field Type for the other columns (word,
   synonyms_and_forms, explanation)

 * The explanation is the normal editor field (post_content) so you should be able
   to fill that during the import.
 * As for the custom meta_box (synonyms) I’m not sure how that Ultimate CSV Importer
   plugin works, but I’ve just created a custom post type and added the meta_box
   as WP explains it to so if it doesn’t work I think that the problem lies within
   the importer.
 * Now I might look into this in the future but for now I wont

 * Hello,
 * Thank you very much for this. It has now worked.
 * I set up the following mappings as you advised
 * ID – Explanadict
    Word – Post Title Synonyms – Post Tags (Might not work functionally
   but I can live with it) Explanation – Post Content.
 * All words imported and tooltips are showing in my frontend. Thanks again.
