 * Hello there.
 * We have purchased the pro version but we have some issues when we try to export
   applications. It does not allow for swedish characters Å Ä Ö, Is there an easy
   fix for this?
 * Best regards

 * Hi [@haljimmy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haljimmy/),
 * Thanks for reaching out to us.
 * We believe you are using Microsoft Excel for viewing the exported data. If yes,
   please note that this is not an issue with our plugin. This is an issue with 
   Excel. The generated CSV file uses a UTF-8 character encoding, but Excel tries
   to read it using a different encoding and does not give the option to choose 
   a different one to the user.
 * To view the CSV files that contain Unicode characters like in your case, we recommend
   using Google Sheets (if you have a Google account) or Libre Office, which is 
   completely free and open-source and a bit more powerful when using CSV files.
   If you need to use Microsoft Excel, you can export the CSV file to Excel file
   using the Google Sheets/Libre Office and use it in Microsoft Excel.
 * Regards,
    Vidya K V

 * Hi.
 * So sorry to have bothered you with this stupid question. The CSV Export is fine
   and it opens perfectly fine in excel as well. (When i choose the correct format
   of the csv)
 * Best regards
