Redmine migration from mantis and russian characters

Added by WMI Admin over 13 years ago

Hello everyone.
We tried to migrate from mantis with this http://www.webismymind.be/page/fr/17/migrate-mantis-120rc1-to-redmine.html script.
All is fine except russian words.
We tried utf8, latin1 ant cp1251 encoding.
All data in mantis is in utf8.

How can we migrate data with proper russian words ?

Thanks.
