National characters in Export plugin
Posted: 28 Feb 2018 20:36
I am using Gedsite to build my website based on a FH project. The “Export Gedcom File” plugin is used to include the sentence templates from FH in the gedcom file that is used by Gedsite. My language is Norwegian, and my data and sentence templates include national characters (æ,ø,å).
The plugin makes a gedcom that handles the data (names, places, notes etc.) correctly. But the sentence templates are exported with “strange” characters instead of my national characters. I use the character set encoding “UTF-8 with a Byte Order mark” (as recommended for Gedsite).
If I use “UTF-8 without a Byte Order mark” instead I get the opposite result. Sentence templates are correct – but other data is wrong… My workaround is to do both exports and copy from one file to the other. But hopefully there is a solution – or it can be fixed in a future release?
Best regards,
