Description
Hello,
With the current implementation of Metadata Translator, the Import/Export CSV feature will not handle commas in Descriptions very well because the commas are treated as column separators. This results in additional columns on export and truncation on import.
Would it be possible to add the option to import and export as JSON and/or RESX via the GUI so that commas are properly handled in the Descriptions?

Research direction
Start with the Metadata Translator GUI's existing CSV import/export flow and identify where format selection and description serialization are handled. Determine whether JSON, RESX, or both are in scope, then verify that descriptions containing commas round-trip without truncation through the GUI.
