Hi there, thank you so much for producing this amazing tool! However there is a problem when I'm trying to use it to add an English translation for the original Chinese text, and I wonder if you would be interested to take a look of it?

I'm actually not sure what's wrong but presume it's something about encoding, as I tested with converting an .rpy file, and without doing anything, converting the .csv file right back and it says something's wrong...

Hi, just wanted to second that I also had issues with this tool when using it to create a CSV for a file with English source text and Chinese translation text. It works fine for one with English source text and French translation text, so it seems like something with the Chinese characters is causing the issue.

It can create the CSV fine, but when converting back to RPY, an error message saying "Something went wrong." pops up and the created RPY is an empty file.

Yes I have the same issue of empty .rpy file, despite mine happens with Chinese source text & English translation text. It's probably the Chinese (or CJK) characters indeed.

It might be that Windows Excel has a very strange default encoding for .csv file. Stay with your .csv file as ANSI encoding before converting, then convert it to utf-8 encoding after getting your .rpy file. It's my translation file by using this tool, I think it works well.

Yeah I thought it was an encoding thing and tried converting the .csv to ANSI then back to utf8 before converting to .rpy, which causes an error, but doing it in your order works fine. Thank you so much!
