Kirill,
> are you talking about localle setting or UI language
Neither.. the process encoding is determined from the environment (as is
the locale if set to Default under Tools->Options), e.g. en_US.UTF-8 is
UTF-8 encoding, de_DE would be ISO-8859-1 encoding, ro_RO.ISO8859-2 the
ISO-8859-2 encoding. A Western European Windows may be Windows-1252
encoding. Alas, this doesn't help here..
> Also, what should I choose to import this particular file correctly?
Currently there is no way to do so if you don't find a specialized tool,
because the file isn't in any standard encoding. The <ESC>N mechanism
used is some Multiplan/microsoftish rubbish to encode non-ASCII ISO
codes, whatever they may call ISO there.. see
http://www.wotsit.org/list.asp?search=sylk the "Summary of all currently
used sylk fields" download.
Furthermore, even Excel can't handle that properly in different
environments, it depends on what encoding the escape sequences are
translated. If I load the file in an English Excel on an English Windows
I get Umlauts and other ISO-8859-1 (respectively Windows-1252)
characters, but I don't see any Cyrillic character as shown in your
attached JPG.
So, what this issue will be about is to convert the escape sequences,
and offer a choice of different encodings as well.
