Non english textbox

[111388]

Hello, I would like some help please. In my app there are some textboxes that the user fills with greek words. Then I save the text to google sheet. It seems that only english words are being transfered and saved to the google sheet. What can I do about it? Thanks!

Perhaps the spreadsheet they access must be set up to accommodate greek rather than English?

Change your typing language

1. In Google Docs or Google Slides, go to the top menu and click File Language . the language you need.
2. In Google Sheets , go to the top menu and click File. Spreadsheet settings, then pick the locale of the language you need.

Thanks for the reply. The language to the google sheet is set to greek.

If you're using a POST block to write data to your spreadsheet, try using just the URL instead.

Saving data in a Google Sheet. No non-ASCII characters

So yeah. I tested a bit and found that the Web.POST.text block does not work with non-ASCII characters. It works and sends country-specific characters: [blocks (68)] This doesn't work and sends blank characters instead of country-specific characters: [blocks (69)] Maybe I should use a different block for encoding?

Thanks again for the reply. Blocks 68 does not seem to work for me. I do not know why. I do the function doGet(e). It works only with blocks 69 but not for non english text.

You can drag block 68 to your workspace in app inventor and see exactly what the entire address looks like. If block 69 work, then block 68 must work as well. Compare all characters in the address e.g. "?"
