Description Carsten Niehaus 2009-08-30 11:59:25 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I recieved a vCard with ~140 Persons. Many of them have ß or Umlauts (öäüÖÜÄ) in their names. When I save the .vcf file and import it in KAddressbook I am getting names like

"Fabian M�nnich"

The � should be an "ö". This is the same for every Umlaut.

When I click on "import contact" in KMail, the Person is correctly imported into KAddressbook (but of course I won't import 140 persons by hand). Therefore I guess that there are two code-path', one that works and one with an UTF-8 issue.

A contact looks like this (I removed some lines):


BEGIN:VCARD
PRODID:-//KGS Rastede//vCardExport 1.0//EN
VERSION:3.0
N;CHARSET=UTF-8:Böker;Michael;;;
FN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Michael Böker

<snip>

X-OUTL-IMADDRESS;CHARSET=UTF-8:
CATEGORIES;CHARSET=UTF-8:KGS
REV;CHARSET=UTF-8:20090829T000010
END:VCARD



You can have the full .vcf-file as a private mail if you want, but I cannot add it to the attachemant as it contains real data of real persons.

Hej Carsten,

can you send me one vcard file for testing, please?

Ciao,
Tobias
