Saving on disk with german mutations
Hallo,
Calibre saves my books on the disk in english matter though the files are in german. Therefore the letters with mutation such as ü comes as u. How can I get the correct description of the books in german? |

You can get the filenames to be saved in german (unicode chars) by going to Preferences ==> Saving books to disk and unchecking "Convert non-English characters to English equivalents".
Note: Depending on how well the filesystem handles unicode, this might cause issues. That is why transliteration is on by default. |

Thank you, I unchecked this option before I asked, but it doesn't work. Is there a place where I have to set the Unicode-Option?

Nope, that option is the only thing that should control the filenames.
(There is a similar setting under conversion options to transliterate unicode into ASCII in the file contents, but that one defaults to off.) |

Remember this will NOT change the calibre library names at all. This will only affect the save to disk format.

Thank you. Perhaps I'm a little confused. The item "Saving books to disk" is in the german translation "Bücher exportieren". If I use the Button "Exportieren" all things are fine, it saves all files with the mutations. But I mean the saving that calibre do automatically after using the button "Add books". In this case the files are changed to the english version. Why? When in this case the handling happens like by the "Exportieren", all things were ok.

Calibre ensures that all files in it's library (ie when you do Add Books) are named using strict ascii characters.
