Zen Cart 1.5.6 & Easy Populate 4.0.36.ZC bug uploading non latin UTF-8 characters


Multilingual with English and Hebrew characters:
1. I am able to download a CSV file in which characters in both languages appear correctly
2. On the upload of the CSV file, the English characters are correctly updated and added to the database , HOWEVER with Hebrew, text strings are cut short after the following two characters: "ג" (Gimmel) and "ע" (Ayn). The Hebrew language is RTL or written right to left.

If I have a product name "עגביות מספר 1" (tomato number 1), all of the text to the left of the character "ע" is omitted once uploaded. The same applies to category names.

I have been looking at the code easypopulate_4_import.php, and it contains reference to the mb_split function, however it isn't clear why only categories names to mention that the problem I am having persists on category names as well. Could the utf-8 conversion of smart-quotes, em-dash, and ellipsis be interfering in some manner?

I have contributed the Hebrew language packages a while ago that I intend to update shortly.


Thanks in advance,

Eran Ariel
