Import Products in a Different Language

How do I import products in Ukrainian or Cyrillic fonts? When I go to Excel to create my CSV file everything works fine. The product names are the only thing in Cyrillic and they show up. When I save the file though it saves all of the product names as ????? and then the import to Hikashop fails. Any ideas?

It's a problem of encoding. When you export your CSV in Excel, make sure that you export it in the encoding UTF8.

Yup I was able to figure this out. However, you should note that Excel does not export CSV files in Unicode as far as I can tell and only does files in Tab delminated format. You need an addin to export in Unicode so you might want to add a feature to hikashop that lets you import with a tab deliminated file.

Just a suggestion.

Thank you!

Oh hmm... you just clicked Save As, CSV, and then did what to get it to work...?

I couldn't find anything online explaining how to solve the problem.
However, it's apparently able to export unicode properly to a text file and then you should still be able to import it in HikaShop.

Yup that's what I figured. Cool thanks for the help.

Any hika already supports tab files if I import through the CSV feature?
