We use Content Builder with a custom HTML template (stated and saved as UTF-8) and several content blocks (all in UTF-8) which use AMPscript (lookup) to retrieve information out of Data Extension, which are populated by automated import jobs (which use UTF-8 CSV files).

Customers informed us that at some (not all) devices, umlaute in some parts of our emails look weird - surprisingly, not only the DE-based info (2), but also hard coded content blocks (1):

Additionally, when I look on an email to edit, it shows me the following setup: enter image description here

What can be the root cause for that? Which "corresponding drop down" are they talking about? I can't find any way to format the language of either the template, the content block, the Data Extensions or the email itself.

The feature called "Target Language" with the drop-down to different encoding in the screenshot above is a feature that used to be part of a paid package. However, it seems to now be included with all editions (as part of our new pricing and packaging). You can get this enabled by calling into support.

  • Weird - I can't see this field anywhere. Any idea how to switch that on?

  • Try to open a case in 'Salesforce Help and Training' or speak with your Account Executive.
