Import from UTF-8 csv file to calendar does not work and displays giberrish
Dear community,
I have a csv file that I want to import into caledar. when it is in English it's working ok.
Also, When I create an event and then export to CSV, the export is ok, and when you open the CSV file created by thunderbird, the Hebrew shows correctly.
But, When I Import the same file , or any other CSV file that is UTF-8 encoded and wrriten in hebrew and the same format or records, then everything that is wrriten in Hebrew is being shown as gibberish for some reason.
I also tried creating custom CSV files with different encoding then UTF-8, (like ANSI or UTF-16) but it won't work.
ive tried attaching the CSV-sample file (that was created through the thunderbird export to CSV) but it won't upload so im copying the content of the file and all you need to use it, is to copy the lines between the segmented lines, and save as UTF-8 text file with the *.csv extention:
============================
"Subject","Start Date","Start Time","End Date","End Time","All day event","Reminder on/off","Reminder Date","Reminder Time","Categories","Description","Location","Private" "אירוע חדש שלום עליכם","08/14/20","5:00:00 PM","08/14/20","6:00:00 PM","False","False","","","","","שלום עליכם","False"
============================
Also, when I've tried importing from ICS files it works ok.
thunderbird version 78.1.1 .
so I hope for the CSV option really soon.
thanks so much!
Ishai.
