What is the intended way to input a few hundred two-sided
cards?
If I understand spanish.org correctly I need a headline like
*** Noun :drill:
:PROPERTIES:
:DRILL_CARD_TYPE: twosided
:END:
and subheadings
Language1
text
Language2
text
for each and every word?
Or is there a way to have one such headline followed by a lot of
pairs of text for both languages?

Hi Detlef
Your example card layout is correct. Note you can add other sections such
as Examples as well -- any headings after the first 2 are always hidden
during review.
What I suggest is to enter your cards in an easy, regular format such as
tab-delimited, or even into a spreadsheet and then export to a tab-delimited
or comma-delimited text file. Then use query-replace-regexp (C-M-%) to turn
them into drill items as in your example.
eg: if your file contains:
el perrotabthe dognewline
el gatotabthe catnewline
...
replace newlines with ^J***Noun^JLanguage1^J
replace TABs with ^JLanguage2^J
replace *** Noun^J with *** Noun^J:PROPERTIES:^J..^J
(where ^J is the newline character, entered by pressing C-q C-j)
There is no special way to import such a file into org, as far as I
am aware. FWIW I followed a very similar process to the above yesterday
with 450 cards exported from Anki, and it worked well.
For entry of more words as you learn, I very strongly suggest setting
up an org capture template.
