Hi.

I am having some trouble importing a translated excel-table, maybe you can assist?

I saved all strings for my project using "Save/LoadTranlsation/Save Project" (using the TsiLang-Expert) to a ".SIL" file. After that I opened that file in the external SIL-Editor and exported them as an Excel-file. That file was translated by a professional translation-company and returned to me. Now I am trying to reimport that file, but unfortunately all russian characters appear either as "???" or as some garbage - regardless of my setting for the charset (I tried DEFAULT_CHARSET & RUSSIAN_CHARSET). The characters appear correctly in the excel-file.

Can you help?

Thanks!

Do you use the latest version of SIL Editor? If yes, could you please send us this Excel file for testing?

I have sent you an email with the file. Thanks.

Thank you for sending the file.
Just add RUSSIAN_CHARSET and Tahoma for the Russian language under Default Fonts settings. And the file should be imported properly.
