What to know

JMobile allow to export a CVS file within a table of all texts inside a project.
In this table, lines represent different texts in the whole project, while columns represent different defined languages.

This is an example:

Usually, to edit these kind of files without any particular problems, it must be used a dedicated CSV Editor (like, for example, UniCSVed or reCsvEeditor).

It happens that if a CSV file is opened with Microsoft Excel, since some CSV features are not fully supported by it, there is the need to perform some additional steps to be able to reimport the CSV file again in JMobile Studio, without loosing any information (specifically, translations done in Unicode encoding, like asian or ciryllic languages).

Below there is a step-by-step procedure of what to do.

NOTE: The procedure below is compatible with JMobile Studio 1.80 SP2 or higher and Microsoft Office 2007 or higher.

1. Open the CSV file with Microsoft Excel and edit it as you want:
