I am using python to extract Arabic tweets from twitter and save it as a CSV file, but when I open the saved file in excel the Arabic language displays as symbols. However, inside python and notepad or word, it looks good. May I know where is the problem?
回答1:
This is a problem I face frequently with Microsoft Excel when opening CSV files that contain Arabic characters. Try the following workaround that I tested on latest versions of Microsoft Excel on both Windows and MacOS:
Open Excel on a blank workbook
Within the Data tab, click on From Text button (if not activated, make sure an empty cell is selected)
Browse and select the CSV file
In the Text Import Wizard, change the File_origin to "Unicode (UTF-8)"
Go next and from the Delimiters, select the delimiter used in your file e.g. comma
Finish and select where to import the data
The Arabic characters should show correctly.

Excel is known to have an awful csv import sytem. Long story short if on same system you import a csv file that you have just exported, it will work smoothly. Else, the csv file is expected to use the Windows system encoding and delimiter.
A rather awkward but robust system is to use LibreOffice or Oracle OpenOffice. Both are far beyond Excel on any feature but the csv module: they will allow you to specify the delimiters and optional quoting characters along with the encoding of the csv file and you will be able to save the resulting file in xslx.
