Hello Rado, it seems that our problem concerns of leader. We tried to import three versions of data different by codage: Latin2 (852), Win1250 and UTF8. Our record has been imported to Koha correctly (into correct fields and subfields) but in incorrect diacritics. .iso file is following:
003800000a00001690004500001001100000200001800011200005100029200000300080100001900083700001900102210002900121205001300150215001000163910001200173005000900185010001600194 005384XXx a 00 aĽudské telo 00 aVzrušujúci pohľad dovnútra ľudského tela b 00 aAbrahams Peter 00 aAbrahams Peter 00 aBratislava cJunior d1994 00 a[1.vyd.] 00 a16 s. 00 b1991/94 00941004 0080-7146-128-8

From this output I would guess that the encoding you use for webpages is set to iso-8859-1. From the Koha Intranet interface go to the Parameters->System Preferences page. The select the Intranet tab. There is a setting for "Template encoding". What is this value in your installation? It should be set to utf-8. Also the encodings for mysql tables should be set to utf8 too. The record you have included above looks good to me. I imported it in my test Koha setup and the diacritics display fine. We tried to place "a" to field 1 (005384XXxa) where first 6 positions is
MFN. Then we manually replaced zero "0" from position 10 of record by "a": 003800000a . But imported data are still displayed with incorrect diacritics. Diacritics of record is UTF8, export file iso 2709 was made by Winisis, record is written in UNIMARC... What is wrong? Please help.
Please, keep the posts in the Koha mailing list. This way you have better chance to get an answer - someone besides me may be able to address your question. Also the lists are archived so in the future someone may find this discussion useful. Best regards, Rado
