This module allows you to import or export taxonomy from or to a CSV (comma-separated values) file or with a copy-and-paste text.

It helps you to quick import a non-standardized vocabulary, for example an old thesaurus, a hierarchical taxonomy or a simple list of children, synonyms, descriptions, weights or related terms to terms. It can be used as a module or as an API with a plug-in mechanism. It can manage internationalized vocabularies with i18n_taxonomy, a submodule of i18n module [Drupal 7 only].

Taxonomy CSV supports drush: you can import/export taxonomies from the command line interface with drush taxocsv-import and drush taxocsv-export.

More informations on Taxonomy CSV import/export are available on the help page in English (7.x version), in English (6.x version) or in French (6.x version). A quick demo is available here, in Dutch.

What you can do

import common field types.
import repeatable fields.
import a hierarchical (tree) or a polyhierarchical vocabulary.
import translations.
import your hierarchical tree structure and your fields simultaneously (7.x-5.11-dev).
export names, fields, tree, translations... to a csv file.

Update of vocabularies

Taxonomy CSV supports update of vocabularies, so you can combine import formats to get what you need. For example, if you want to import a tree structure in three languages with a full Translate internationalization mode,

first you import the tree structure with the first language,
second you import the structure with the second language,
and finally you import the translations set.

Technical notes

Other tools

Taxonomy CSV is a specialised tool which allows precise tuning. It's designed to be used when the website is building. After that, it's recommended to disable it. Some other modules allow to import and export taxonomies:

TODO

Increase speed of Taxonomy CSV for Drupal 7
Import by tid (Taxonomy CSV for Drupal 6)
Internationalization of Taxonomy CSV for Drupal 6 (on request)
Combine tree import with translations
Polyhierarchical export
Support of Location
Support of Title

Use at your risk. It's always recommended to backup your database so you can roll back if needed.
