Currently the best way is just that there's a "mark known" button at the bottom of articles to mark all remaining words as known. Also on the wordlist view you can select many words and mark them all known at once. But we're also working on integrations now to help make the on-boarding experience easier and leverage existing study workflows.
The main challenge is that in Polyglatte a word is defined as (lemma [the root word], part of speech, language) and most other systems don't use part of speech, so there's often not a 1 to 1 mapping when importing. So we've delayed having much here so far, but it is definitely a solvable problem. Is there a specific place/format you would want to import that data from? If not then perhaps we can add a "mark wordlist known" button and add some French word lists.
> I’m at an intermediate level, and don’t really want to tell the program that I know all the rather simple words.. or does that not really matter?
That's a good question, due to the way typical word frequency distributions are, the problem becomes less annoying pretty quickly if you mark words as you see them. But solving this problem is also an important part of making Polyglatte fun and a smooth experience for new users. And helping people to spend more time enjoying and using their languages is one of our major goals with Polyglatte -- bulk marking words you already know isn't very fun.
Feel free to reach out on Discord or our new community forum (https://community.polyglatte.com/) for help or for feature requests by the way -- we'd love to make Polyglatte better for you and everyone else.
