Import CSV to DataTable right characters

Hi there, I’ve a inconvenience at import time CSV to DataTable, the special characters (like ñ, ü, é…) hasn’t been respected (Unicode?), I’ve tried to set up the struct data field to Name, String and Text without lucky, what I’m doing wrong?

Are these text or string fields? Can you put them inside double quotes?
“español”

Hi, Any luck with that problem? I have the same problem here…

Thanks

+1, same problem here.

Additionally, when using Name type variable, any word with special character as the first letter imports as “?”. For example, polish word “Śnieg” imports as “?”.
If special character is in the middle of a word, then, for example:
“Kiełbasa” imports as “Kie”, “Mówi” becomes “M”, and so on… So it cuts out everything past the special letter (including special character)

4 days passed, so… Bump? ^^

I am waiting since Jun21 !!! and nothing :frowning:

Done, thanks and sorry…

Hey @Orone Studio, did you maybe managed to fix it somehow on your own?

No, didn’t resolved it, I leaved it in its time, just edited all phrases manually in the imported datatable inside the unreal editor

Info from @Adam Davis from my thread:

This is a known issue as UE-19896.
According to NormanFoxLee here,
if you use google sheets to export the
.csv it does not receive the same
errors. Try that and see if it helps
you until we can find the root cause
of this error.

So it should be fixed in the future, and for now, as a workaround, just import your spreadsheet into Google Sheets and export .csv file from there :slight_smile: That worked for me.

Thank you, I will try it…

Looking at the data in your screenshot I hope you got a professional translator for this project later; I don’t know the other languages but the German translations there are complete rubbish!

You can use Notepad++ to convert it to UTF-8 manually. It worked for me, but first I had to convert it to ANSI, then save, then convert to UTF-8 and save again, After that all characters imports good.

If that helped, could you please accept the answer? Thanks!
