Non-latin alphabets #130
Comments
Just to confirm, is this a problem with importing files or exporting votes? |
at the time of exporting. |
The exported files are csv. It looks like excel recognizes these in the wrong encoding, and that is producing this bad user experience. It looks like adding a BOM can help excel recognize the file as UTF-8. It seems this may fix it, but I have not been able to test it. There is an example here that suggests how to add a BOM to the csvwriter. I'll submit a PR, but haven't properly set up the platform to test locally. |
Should resolve #130 . Haven't been able to test locally though, so please tread with caution. Reusing from [example here](https://www.programcreek.com/python/example/98129/unicodecsv.DictWriter)
From Alexmar983 (and I have experienced this issue in the past as well):
The tool does not import decently namefile in Arabic or Greek on xls, in some countries I have a problem to understand the finalist... i have to ask the jurors what they vote to be sure.
