How can I save my document as a CSV and maintain all languages in the exported document

Right now, I am forced into choosing a specific language for my CSV file. All characters not in my selected language become question marks.

What you are asking might not be possible. In my limited experience, CSV files are coded in ASCII which allows some accented characters (using Extended-ASCII) but not all foreign characters. But It might be possible to generate a CSV file using UTF-8 character coding which should cover many/most foreign alphabets. I don’t know if this is possible in LibreOffice.

Of course it is. And yes, UTF-8 covers all Unicode characters, not just many/most.

@erAck, thanks for the info. I stand corrected (and informed).

CSV files are plain-text files, thus, they do not have such an attribute as a language. The only thing that you do in that respect is to control the encoding when you export to CSV, so make sure to tick Edit filter settings in the export dialog. To be on the safe side, choose UTF-8 or UTF-16. For further information refer to the manual.

Here is my macro that exports a spreadsheet to UTF-8, tab-delimited, no text delimiter:

Sub ExportToGlossary

Dim oDoc as Object
Dim glossaryFileProperties(3) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
Dim sURL as String
Dim iLen as Integer
Dim isSpreadSheet as Boolean

oDoc = ThisComponent
If oDoc.getLocation() = "" Then Exit Sub

isSpreadSheet = oDoc.supportsService("com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument")

If isSpreadSheet Then
sURL = oDoc.getLocation()
iLen = len(sURL)

If lcase(right(sURL,4))=".ods" Then
    sURL = left(sURL, iLen - 4)
Else
   If lcase(right(sURL,4))=".xls" Then
       sURL = left(sURL, iLen - 4)
   Else
       If lcase(right(sURL,5))=".xlsx" Then
           sURL = left(sURL, iLen - 5)
       End If
   End If    
End If

sURL = sURL + ".txt"

glossaryFileProperties(0).Name = "FilterName"  ' setting properties of exported file such as tab as field delimiter, nothing as text delimiter, UTF-8 as encoding
glossaryFileProperties(0).Value = "Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)"
glossaryFileProperties(1).Name = "FilterOptions"
glossaryFileProperties(1).Value = "9,0,76,1,,0,false,true,false"
glossaryFileProperties(2).Name = "Overwrite"
glossaryFileProperties(2).Value = True

oDoc.storeToURL(sURL, glossaryFileProperties())
End If
End Sub
