Dear Russel this sound like a UTF16 Problem. Microsoft (=Excel) encodes the text in a „different“ format so the easiest way is to export to csv use a text editor to get the encoding to UTF8 This solution works for me Kind regards Hofrat Mag. Rainer Stowasser Head of Library and Archives ZAMG

Dear Community
I have a prepared data set in excel format (.xlsx), some of it contains umlaut (German texts) and click sounds symbols of African languages such as field 245, and 260. But whenever I import the file to MARC editor through the Delimited Text Translator, I lose all the umlaut and punctuation marks for click sounds in the data. Does anybody have a clue or alternative method that can be used to take records from excel files to MARC editor without losing umlaut?
