Description

During import of text files into a corpus it seems to be impossible to control the encoding used. Looks like the default platform encoding is used (Latin 1 on Western Windows systems). The Eclipse default encoding settings for text files don't seem to affect import encoding. That makes it impossible to import documents with international characters in UTF8.
Ideally the encoding should be selectable in a drop down field in the import wizard.
