Hi,
Thank you for providing such a great tool.
Usually ReadStat can successfully import UTF-encoded datasets, but when reading locale encoded .sav files, it will prompt "Unable to convert string to the requested encoding (invalid byte sequence)"
I provide two sample .sav datasets(remove its .zip suffix) here for testing:
165-locale-specific.sav dataset encoded by Chinese locale-specific encoding165-UTF-encoding.sav Chinese character dataset encoded by UTFIn ReadStat and Haven, the first dataset could not be read with the above error，But GNU PSPP can successfully open it. I guess that when encountering a localized encoded file, try to convert it to UTF through some methods and then read it, but I haven't seen such a practice yet（maybe the practice of PSPP is a success ).
Could you consider implementing it.
Thank you!
