Umlauts and special characters
  • If umlauts are displayed incorrectly, the reason is usually the character encoding of the CSV file.
  • Typical errors:
    • Müller appears as Müller
    • special characters are replaced
    • names with accents are displayed incorrectly
  • Solution:
    • save the CSV file again as UTF-8
    • check the file in a text editor
    • start the import again
  • Tip: LibreOffice is well suited for consciously choosing the encoding when saving.
