Greek keyword

[npaipal]

Hello, I have a problem with tools seomoz not understand Greek Keyword. There is any solution;

Nikos, 
First, which tool are you trying to use? For Campaigns, Rank Tracker, keyword analysis, etc. there are options on choosing the Search Engine and the country. (Country choice is right after Search engine choice).

If you could tell us of the word you are trying to use, website, etc. it would help us assist you.

Hi Nikos,

Sorry about the trouble with Greek keywords. Almost all of the newer SEOmoz tools, including the PRO platform, are enabled to handle all major character sets, including those found in Greek.

That said, a few of the older tools, such as the Rank Tracker, have trouble with certain characters. In these cases new and better tools are on the way, so the old tools probably won't be fixed.

If you are having trouble with any of the PRO tools understanding Greek, feel free to write the help team (help@seomoz.org) and let them know what words you are having trouble with and where.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Nikos,

I'll notify the SEOmoz Help Team (help@seomoz.org) to let them know you're experiencing trouble.

Hello,

We have exactly the same problem in On-Page Optimization tool.

We're getting very high number of keyword results which is not normal. It seems that the tool cannot understand some or all greek characters?

The campaign is settled up correctly with Greek search engine and language.

Is there any solution on this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Everyone,

We actually have a known issue with some non-Latin character sets that aren't displaying properly in On Page reports, CSV files, and the Web App IU. We have had complaints about Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, and some others character sets. It only affects specific characters, so we still support those languages sets in our tools. As of right now, we aren't sure when this will be fixed, but our engineers are working on the issue.

For now, you can download the export the data to a CSV, you should be able to open UTF-8 CSV files in Excel using the Text Import Wizard, which allows you to specify the encoding of the file you're opening. (Note: this may only work on PC versions of Excel)

a.       To start the Text Import Wizard, on the Data tab, in the Get External Data group, click From Text. Then, in the Import Text File dialog box, double-click the text file that you want to import.

b.      Under ‘Original data type’, select Delimited

c.       In the ‘File origin’ drop-down, select UTF-8

d.      Click [Next >]

e.       Under Delimiters, select ‘Comma’

f.       Click [Next >], then [Finish] and [OK] to save it under the existing worksheet

I'm seeing the exact same problem in Cyrillic.

An 11-character keyword appearing 1293 times in the body. There's not even that much text on the page!

Will email help about this.

Hi Alexandros,

Unfortunately, we do not currently have an update on this issue. It is a very complicated process to correct the formatting in the web app, so it is taking us some time to resolve the problem. I'm very sorry about that.

We will update the entry in our Known Issues form when we have any further information:
