Transcriptions for languages with orthography that differs from English (i.e., characters that are not in the 26 letter alphabet) will not export to a CSV appropriately. Instead, random characters will be exported and transcriptions will appear as complete gibberish. Users can use the steps below to open their CSV in a way that will display transcriptions accurately.

Examples of languages that do not use the English alphabet (a.k.a. the Latin alphabet):

• Chinese
• Japanese
• Hebrew
• German (some chars.)
