Hi again, Roumano, I looked into this, and here's what seems to be happening:
When we export a photograph, we write the keywords you're seeing into the IPTC field 'Keywords' and it seems as if exiftool isn't respecting the fact that characters in this field can be multibyte correctly and, as such, outputting gibberish here. According to the exiftool FAQ<http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/faq.html#Q10>, it's supposed to pick up on the fact that a string is in UTF8 format automatically, and it seems to do this in 'Subject' and 'Tag List', but it may be that it's expecting Keywords to be plain ASCII. In any case, it's possible to control this by running exiftool as follows: exiftool -charset IPTC=UTF8 <image filename> ...which should cause keywords with multibyte characters to display normally (I just checked that it works with accented Latin characters, hiragana and Cyrillic). I hope this helps, but if you have further questions, please feel free to write again.
