Description

If the GIFT file is in ISO-8859-1, it will be imported but special characters such as åäö will break the questionnaire.

When importing the attached file, the question "Har Java-kompilatorn installerats framgångsrikt?" will end up as "Har Java-kompilatorn installerats framg".

If the GIFT file is saved in UTF-8 it imports without any problems.

Reassigning this to the quiz module. Questionnaire cannot import GIFT files.

the instructions or help of the import process says clearly

"A note about character encodings

If your file contains non-ascii characters then it must use UTF-8 encoding.
You may be able to select or convert to UTF-8 using your favourite editor,
or it may be an option in the exporting software.
XML based import formats will be handled
automatically provided your Moodle server is running PHP 5.
