=== Resolving Excel File Save as CSV Causing Garbled Text === '''Problem''' When saving Excel files containing text in other languages as CSV files, the content becomes garbled. '''Root cause''' Older versions of Excel only provide general CSV options when saving (defaulting to Big5 encoding), which is the main cause of garbled text. '''Solutions''' There are three solution methods * Upload the Excel file to [https://workspace.google.com/intl/zh-TW/products/sheets/ Google Sheets], then download as CSV file. CSV files exported from Google Sheets will be UTF-8 encoded, avoiding garbled text issues. * Using the Open-source software<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software Open-source software - Wikipedia]</ref> [https://zh-tw.libreoffice.org/ LibreOffice] to open the Excel file, then when saving the file, select "Text CSV (.csv)" format and choose the "Character set: Unicode (UTF-8)" option. * Using newer versions of Excel (such as Office 365), and selecting the "CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited) (.csv)" option when saving.
