Conversion loses Umlaute (ü, ö, ä)
Hello,
I´ve got a few epub in german (where umlauts are present) but if I convert it with "convert books" to mobi (to read it on my kindle) ä changes to a, ü to u and ö to o. That makes it very difficult to read. Since the umlauts are included in the original documents - how can I keep this in the conversion? Thanks ILB enclosed an example epub with umlauten Last edited by ILB; 07-09-2016 at 04:57 PM. |

Convert to KF8. It could be an issue with Mobi being obsolete.

did you review (and adjust) the conversion options ? (Conversion:mobi or AZW3) Look and Fee:Text (tab): (not ticked) Transliterate Unicode to ASCII AZW3 is the better (modern) choice unless you have a really old (K1,K2)Kindle |

The "not ticked" on "Transliterate Unicode to ASCII" solved my problem. |

You presumably turned on the option to Transliterate unicode characters in the Look & Feel->Text section of the conversion dialog
