REST API does not support Chinese file name or project name?

Question

Hi There, 
 We are working on an integration where we are trying to use REST API to automatically create projects, but if we transfer documents with Chinese file names and/or the project names has Chinese characters, it does not work (wont create project or fail to upload files). Do you have any idea why this happens and how to get this resolved? 
 REST API of WorldServer supports Chinese characters in file and project names? 
 Thank you, Anson

Hi Anson Zhang , 
 
I've had a discussion with WorldServer team regarding this issue: 
 
"This is a known issue regarding encoding which was already escalated, a fix (switching the encoding to UTF-8) will be provided with the future release of 11.4. 
 
We will also provide this fix on previously released versions (as we are well aware of the impact this is having on all asian customers as well as german or any other customer which uses special characters / diacritics) however it is yet to be decided on which versions exactly." 
 
Kind regards, 
Andrea Ghisa
