Problems with import categories including umlaut

[Silvy1905]

Hello,

I wanted to import products with categories. The categrories have umlauts in their name (Müllbeutel), so I cannot import them. I made a csv with Excel 2010 in UTF 8. What can I do?

Using magento 1.9.0.1

Thanks a lot.

Greetings

Hey,

I had the same problem. Here is the (dirty) solution:

You have to change the umlaute in categories names to masked ones:

Müllbeutel

comes to 

Müllbeutel

In your import CSV the names have also to be masket.
