Everything
works well except that encoding in plain text that is sent to e-mail
adress is very strange. I can not convert it in anything readable when
importing in Excel.
I use cyrillic (Russian). Is it possible to turn the output in Cyrillic(Windows)? In which file (and where) encoding is set?
You may find that Cyrillic characters do not display as expected when using the Email Results feature. This solution hasn't been tested in Quizmaker '09, but you can try to correct it in the following manner:
1) Navigate to the published quiz, and open the quiz.html with a text editor, such as Notepad.
2) Replace ISO-8859-1 charset with windows-1251.
3) Save your changes, and close the quiz.html file.
Curious to know if that works- please let us know your findings. Thanks!
We have a similar problem with quiz data reporting into our LMS (SumTotal). I'm not certain that the encoding of the page will make a difference. It's the encoding of the data the page hands off. Would they necessarily be the same?
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Andrew and welcome to Heroes! No, the data sent to an LMS is different from what is sent via email. What specifically are you having an issue with in terms of reporting?
Sorry I never replied to your response/question. We sort of dropped the issue after I posted, but it has cropped up again. We've had the same problem with multiple languages.
We use SumTotal LMS. Quiz data from Articulate in languages such as Russian or Vietnamese for example comes through to the LMS with the character encoding messed up. An example is attached from a Vietnam course:
Any help would be appreciated. I'm subscribed to responses and will answer inquiries. Thanks!

Peter, thank you for the answer!
Could you please provide more detailed instructions?
I have not found any string with any of the following words: " ISO-8859-1", "charset" or "windows-1251" in the quiz.html!
I published the quiz "for the web". What should I do?
Thanks!
Hey Janus!
After the <HEAD> tag, you can try inserting this:
"<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">"
And more on this is outlined in the third-party site here:

But again, please keep in mind, we haven't actually tested this in Quizmaker '09, but you may find it helpful.
Tried everything: I saved quiz.html in different encodings , with or without this line:
"<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251">"
- nothing works. I understand that it is "unsupported solution" but could you please give me more hints to solve my problems?
