    Hello,

    Is it possible to change the charset of a CSV File?
    When we export a CSV it is at UTF-8, but we need it as ISO-8859-1 because we import it to another system and this only accept the ISO charset. So we are looking for a way to change the charset of the CSV but we didn’t find any filter or actions.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Best regards

    Hi @shogathu,

    I looked into it, and you’re right that there isn’t a hook or filter for this. I currently see no way to make this happen, so I’ll try to add a filter for you next week. I’ll let you know when this is released.

    Kind regards,

    Doeke

    Hello Doeke,

    thanks for take a look into this. So as we need it fast, we make it happened for us by change 1 line of code while creating the file. This make the work for us and we will wait for an update.

    gf-entries-in-excel/build/vendor_prefixed/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet/src/PhpSpreadsheet/Writer/Csv.php:131

    we added

    $cellsArray[0] = mb_convert_encoding($cellsArray[0],’ISO-8859-1′ );

    Best regards

    Hi @shogathu,

    I just wanted to let you know that we’ve released 2.3.0 of GravityExport Lite; which now includes a gfexcel_renderer_csv_output_encoding hook to update the character encoding for the CSV output.

    Something along these lines should do the same for you:

    add_action( 'gfexcel_renderer_csv_output_encoding', function ( string $encoding ): string {
	return 'ISO-8859-1';
} );

    Hope this helps!

    Kind regards,
    Doeke
