Export contacts in Arabic
October 30, 2008, 06:19:27 am
Hi all. We chose CiviCRM because it accommodates Arabic characters and we've had no problem with Arabic except that when we export contacts, the Arabic characters show as garbage. I guess that's because excel doesn't accommodate Arabic? Is there another way to print our contacts so we can read them?

Can you check whether the exported CSV files open properly in, say, OpenOffice.org?

There is also a Legacy Encoding setting in the localisation admin screen which you should verify has the proper encoding.
