I imported a CSV file containing German translation into Lingo Termbase that I created on the local drive. I noticed that characters such as ü ö ä were not recognised in Lingo Termbase. Theses were replaced with the question mark symbols.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and know how to fix this?
Thanks

Re: Lingo does not recognise German characters such as ü ö ä
I've had this issue importing files into Flare and have a Visual Basic Script to replace the characters with XML syntax. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work for your characters. I was able to use NotePad's Find and Replace:
Replace ä with ä
Replace ö with ö
Replace ü with ü
Make a copy of the CVS file so you have a backup. If you need to replace more characters, you can look them up here and use the numbers in parentheses (third column).

Thank you for your help. It worked.
MadCap Support suggested to save the file as workbook in Excel and then import it. It worked too.
