We solved our problem using MarcEdit. We converted cyrillic records to UTF8 using MarcEdit Character Conversion tool. Then imported to ILS from KOHA import page. -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of MJ Ray Sent: Friday, March 21, 2014 1:52 PM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha import cyrillic volkan sonmez wrote:

We exported unimarc records from former library automation. But records are in cyrillic encoding (ISO 5427). In KOHA marc import page (web) (after uploading file in "character encoding" section) there is no ISO 5427 option. We tried other character encoding options. But we encountered weird characters on the screen. Is there any way to add ISO 5427 option to character encoding section.

Not easily. Can you convert the exported file to ISO 10646 encoded in UTF-8? The yaz-iconv tool may help.
