 * Dear Tobias,
 * I have trouble when I try to export a table to Excel.
    Words like Südamerika 
   are translated like this: Südamerika Even more links and words are translated
   wrong with signs: Réunion • Mauritius: 14 Tage Wanderreise und Baden – ….
 * Do you have a solution for this problem ?
 * Best regards

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This sounds like a problem with the character encoding.
    What file format are
   you using for the export? CSV?
 * Can you then maybe try opening the file in a text editor like Notepad and save
   the file with “UTF-8” as the character encoding? Also, some versions of Excel
   treat a file differently if it is opened by double-clicking the file and by opening
   it via the “File” menu.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
