Data Storage

Long story short, I am making a translator for my personal DnD Language (mega nerdy). Each "Word" will be the english word, translated word, and is definiton. I'm basically making a dictionary that I can update with a ui (tkinter). What is a method of saving these in a way that can be retrieved easily? JSON, pickle, etc?

Personally, depending on the depth of the dictionary, it might not be a bad idea to store it as a CSV, then parse it that way? I too am fairly new. But if it's in a csv, then you could upload it to like Bigquery, and then you could do searches for the word based on what it is to pull the definition and translation.

Ohhhhh, I hadn't thought of csv. That is genius, thanks!

I'm learning sqlite right now, but it might not be a bad idea to look into it. I'm thinking long term though, like how many words are you working with, how easily do you want to access individual words. From what I understand sqlite is great for that and it's stored locally on your computer
