Hi @alshaygi,
Thank you for reporting your issue!
@antonia, I know you are working with instances in Arabic. Do you have the same issue? Is this a DHIS2 issue or perhaps WIndows/Excel issue?
Best,
Karoline
Dear @Karoline and @alshaygi,
We have not installed the COVID-19 module, but only used some specific solutions added to our surveillance system.
But to help you, I made a simple test on the COVID-19 Demo server - Tracker:
https://covid19.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-tracker-capture/index.html#/?program=uYjxkTbwRNf
inserting a Name and Surname in Arabic and it seams that the problem is not present on the Demo installation, both on the web interface and on the download file - (opened with Excel and Google sheet) (see the images). I think it can be problem with the character set of the computer/server of the installation or where the file is opened.
I hope I have been of help.
Dear @alshaygi,
expending on @antonia’s reply, could it be the encoding are you using to read the csv file in Excel?
You may want to try the following:
- Open a new blank excel file
- Import the data via File > Import
- Select the type “CSV file” and browse to the csv file you have exported from dhis2
- In the import wizard select “Delimited” data and “UTF-8” as file origin
- Then select “Comma” as the delimiter
- Finally select where to import to and Finish
Hoping this helps.
Cheers,
Matthieu

@alshaygi, great! Thanks for the feedback.
@antonia @Karoline @Matthieu Hi once again
Another issue in same regards that , downloading for the custom working sheet doesn’t work using different format XML CSV JSON and different browser
@alshaygi, Could you describe what is the expected behaviour? Should all items of the ‘Custom working list’ be displayed in arabic?
Thanks @Matthieu
The file doesn’t download if I did any customization for the working list ex: (selecting children, starting date, Score , …)
it isn’t an issue of Arabic language.
