Info

Choosing an application

FirstVoices recommends OpenOffice or LibreOffice because they handle Indigenous characters correctly using the Save As: CSV option. They are also open-source projects.

Note

Check your file!

After exporting/saving your file in UTF-8 CSV format, always open the exported file to make sure that all your words and characters are displaying correctly in the new format.
