Patch #17902
closed
CSV encoding should be UTF-8 in French locale
Added by Vincent Robert over 9 years ago.
Updated over 6 years ago.
Description
Default csv encoding is currently set to ISO-8859-1 in the French localization file. That's probably why the generated csv files do not show accented characters properly.
Don't you think the general_csv_encoding variable should be set to UTF-8 in locales/fr.yml?
Thank you!

Jean-Philippe, what do you think about this?
Although I cannot judge whether this patch should be merged or not because I am not a French speaker, I am setting target version to 3.3.0 to request you to make a decision.
I think this change is not necessary and you may close this issue.
- Related to Feature #7037: CSV export encoding and excel. UTF-8 and BOM added
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Target version deleted (
3.3.0)
As far as I can tell, french spreadcheets like Excel and Calc don't use UTF-8 as default when opening a CSV file.
Thanks anyway for your feedback.

(#27213) What about the € symbol? I guess it is quite commonly used in Europe, although ISO-8859-1 does not includes this symbol... I am considering switching the CSV encoding to UTF-8 instead

As I also posted in #27213: This is something that, I think, would be solved by the proposal of #26279. With that, the user can select UTF8 encoding when exporting to CSV if appropriate.
