Hello supporters colanguages!
I want to import a csv file and apply the multilingual delimited filter and making sure that the Chinese characters (both Simplified & Traditional) will be exported properly and not as Gibbrish.
In the Comma or tab-seperated options, which codepages should I choose for Codepage if not included and for Export codepage from the dropdown list offered for each variant?
If there are other configuration that I should apply, please let me know

Use UTF-8. Just always use UTF-8.

I always use UTF-8.
I tried using UTF-32 and I tried using specific Chinese-Simplified export settings (Chinese Simplified 2312, 2312-80 etc) and still - Gibbrish.

Where, at which point do you see gibberish? Share a sample file.

I see Gibberish after exporting the file into my PC. Within memoQ, the text looks just fine.
It is not a local font issue, for other exported files, on Excel & Word look just fine when I open them.
You can see here an example how do I see it after exporting

SITE LOCALIZER | Excel or what? | Jan 28, 2021 |
It is not clear how you open the file. I suspect, it is Excel. A very dumb program, like other garbage from Microsoft. Try LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice, they open files in UTF-8 without problems.

Yes, I knoe csv or Excel are not the best formats, but that is what the client is using. I need to align to their demands and not offer them another format which is not recognized from their end

SITE LOCALIZER | Program, not format | Jan 29, 2021 |
I was talking about the particular program that you use, not about the file format. Once again: try opening the file in a good program such as LibreOffice/Apache OpenOffice or any good text editor (and no, Windows Notepad is not a good text editor). The screenshot provided implies that the file is opened in a wrong encoding, which is a fault of Excel or whatever program you use.

Well... I have lots of Asian characters inside my translation. Haven't been an issue since around 2010.
Most latest versions of Excel and MS Word are able to deal with most non-latin fonts surprisingly well.
Wouldn't it be an easy solution for you to just break segments into latin/asian pieces?
You can do it on the fly in MemoQ 8.7.
