I have modified the csv (csv with ;) file with Excel on my computer then set the encoding in UTF-8 and when I tried to save it it said there was a problem with saving the modified file because it contained unsupported characters
I don't really know what the problem could be so I hope you could help me with this
thank you in advance
Hello Laszlo,
Try to use open office Calc (the open source Version of Excel) to edit the csv files because it gives more option to save them correctly. Excel sometimes is saving them in a different format and is not allowing to choose the correct encoding and so the characters added are not readed correctly.
Please let me know if it works.
