Hi,
I am using ODK Briefcase 1.4.5. In the release notes, the last mention of
fixing errors related to non-latin characters was in production 1.2.3. A
lot of our surveys contain input in Arabic letters, which apparently cannot
yet be parsed by Briefcase 1.4.5.
Is there any estimate on when this issue can be fixed?
Thank you.
Guevara
What problem are you seeing? As far as I am aware, ODK Briefcase should
handle Arabic characters just fine.
Note that importing a CSV into Excel requires special steps if it contains
any non-Latin characters. See the many other earlier posts and search the
web for the needed steps.

Gello Guevara,
Unrelated to your question, I'm curious about your project. I'm setting up an event in Iraq and many CSOs have data collection questions. I'm looking to learn from actors in the region. Can you tell me about what you're working on?
Best Wishes,
Derek
Hi Mitch,
I have attached the CSV file exported by ODK Briefcase.
Also, I have looked at the other posts regarding this issue, and I have
attempted to import the CSV into Excel using all possible formats: Windows
(ANSI), Arabic (ISO 8859-6), Arabic (Mac OS), Arabic (Windows), Unicode 6.3
UTF-8, etc... I have attached the results of these attempts.

export-via-briefcase.csv (1.01 KB)
Can you zip and send the /sdcard/odk directory of a device with a valid
arabic form and one or more finalized submissions?
Send that directly to me (mitchellsundt@gmail.com)

Hello Both!
I am facing a similar issue and while i realize this thread is quite old Its the only one i found on the topic. Might start a new one in parallel.
