 * Hi! Please help, when importing a scv file (windows-1251 encoding), of course,
   the plugin does not understand and shows characters, if
 * `[iconv("Windows-1251", "UTF-8", {name[1]})]`
 * Then the characters just change, tell me what’s wrong and how to make windows-
   1251 encoding in utf-8

 * Hi [@km_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/km_/),
 * CSV files must be UTF-8 encoded before they’re uploaded to WP All Import. There’s
   more information on that, and how to convert the file encoding, here: [http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/troubleshooting/encoding/](http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/troubleshooting/encoding/).
