Hi Adam and Alexei To edit these authority files I am using Excel 2010 on a PC (Vista) and Excel 2013 on a PC (Windows 7) and saving as a comma delimited file. I added in 5 names that use all sorts of diacriticals and see that when I open it in Notepad++, it is actually encoded in Ansi not UTF-8. Obviously I am choosing the wrong save format from Excel. Which should I be using?
I have attached the file the file here so you can see it and play with it yourselves. The tilda becomes a '?'. Actually the circumflex works, which is strange because when I got the error before, only the name with the circumflex was left as I had already changed the names with a tilda. Converting to UTF-8 doesn't help with the tilda problem. Thank you for looking into this.

I'm actually surprised that the authority files don't. I just tested a local file and I was able to add these records: conceptid,PrefLabel,AltLabels,ParentConceptid,ConceptType,Provider 20000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,Portland,,CITY_AUTHORITY_DOCUMENT.csv,Index,GCI 20000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,San Francisco,The Bay Area,CITY_AUTHORITY_DOCUMENT.csv,Index,GCI 20000003-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,San Jose,San José,CITY_AUTHORITY_DOCUMENT.csv,Index,GCI Notice that the alt label for San Jose, is San José Can you share the authority file that you're having trouble with?

This is not a problem for us as we were happy to remove them and if we really want them we can enter then through the RDM. But will this problem occur when loading resource data through .arches? We need to input place names as alternative names using diacriticals and it would be much easier if we can do this via .arches files. We know we can input them using the resource data manager but obviously when dealing with about 3000 entries,,this is time consuming. Any ideas? Lucy -- -- To post, send email to [email protected].
