The issue affects both the mobile form export and import data modules.

I will test this and fix

SolomonN commented 7 years ago

Dear Wondie, Is there an English translation for the lookup values.

wondie commented 7 years ago

Dear Solomon, yes it is available but that is not used in the field.

This issue is an encoding issue. If you make the python code recognize unicode, it will be great. I have been fixing several similar issues.

These are some of the methods used to covert ascii code to non-ascii. string.encode("utf-8") string.decode("utf-8") unicode(string) u"the string"

Dear Wondie, I have made some changes to support encoding but this is only a temporary fix Please check again and let me know your findings.

wondie commented 6 years ago

Dear Solomon,

I tested today and the problem still exists. Please use the configuration.stc I shared you last time to test it too.

The issue is now fixed in this commit.
