Issue using AntConc with russian text

[Fabrice Deprez]

Hi,

I have been trying to use AntConc with a corpus of HTML files taken from a russian website (example of file attached), but have been unable to do so. In each instance, the file is titled "??????" and the software can't analyse it.

I have tried switching AntConc to every cyrillic encoding it has, without sucess.

Internet Explorer tells me the encoding of those files are UTF-8, but the same problem arise using that encoding in AntConc.

I tried using the software with HTML pages in english, it worked without any problems.

Is there any solution to this ? The only thing I could find on the internet was confirmation that the software is supposed to be able to handle russian language, so I assume the issue may lie elsewhere.

Have a good day,

Fabrice

The problem is the Russian file name and the UTF-8 content. I suggest you simplify the file names to something a little shorter with only ascii characters in them (e.g. file1.html), and then everything should work fine.

Here is an example of your file (with the tags hidden):

I hope that helps.
