mmat1 · 01-31-2012, 05:06 PM

When importing from a HTML-source there are often some (whats the correct term ?) national characters in the text, i.e. "Ä" represents the german Character "Ä".

- sigils spell checker can't handle these characters (correct spelled words are marked red)
- the toc-generator seems to ignore them
(<h3>So ein Ärger</h3> will result in a
toc-entry "So ein rger")

Should Sigil translate them automatically ??
Is there an easy way to translate then ? (aside from search and replace one by one)
