I'm creating KML folders by using KML IDs approch (kml_parent and kml_id). The folders name are in French, so I would like to use characters like : é, è, à... but it doesn't work. I can change the folder name directly in the KML file but I would like to do it directly in FME. Is there a way to do this directly in FME?

How are you inputting the accented characters? Are they UTF-8? I just tried and have no issue.

Thanks, you solved my problem! I was trying to set the attribute "kml_id" instead of "kml_name" with an accented value. By using the "kml_name" attribute I'm now able to use accented characters.

Thanks!
