Thesaurus import with german umlauts

[RobiWan]

Hello,

has anyone tried to import the thesaurus with German umlauts. This works for me but the umlauts are then all broken.

Works for me. Just make sure that your input file is properly encoded (UTF-8).

Yes, correct, me too.

And how I can do that? I can only select in LR "export Keywords" and LR create a simple Textfile. I can read this file with editors like notepad and all umlauts are correct.

Save it in Windows Notepad and choose the Encoding "UTF-8" at the bottom.
Usually Lr saves the file with UTF-8 encoding automatically, but maybe not in your case.

I can't believe it. I have tried it 3 times on Windows 10 and OSX. All times with the latest Clasic CC version.

Lr does not write an UTF-8 BOM to indicate the file as UTF-8 encoded. IMatch hence assumes it is ANSI-encoded.
I will change that to assume UTF-8 instead for the next release.

Open the file in Notepad and save it as Unicode. This will write the file as UNICODE with BOM and the import should work.

Yes this works. Thank you.

This is true, but I mean its not necessary to set BOM header to tell applications that here is UTF-8 encoding.
