    re: queries
    Ahhh, ok, that makes sense! I missed that they were for the export from other tables.

    re: automapping, partially translated
    Yes, I’m not sure there’s a way around that. What happens in the background is that the fields types are pulled from Connections that way there are always current without having to update the CSV Import extension. What happens next is those field names are then concatenated with a field name in the CSV Import extension. These field names are hardcoded and not translated. Maybe they should be but that would require one to translate those strings. So that why you up with “Frenglish” (I think I just made up a word). But if you import with those field names, they should automap just fine. Looking at your CSV file, that appears to be exactly what you ended up with.

    Even still you do not need to worry about the column header names at all, you only have to manually map the fields. Thats why there’s the mapping step, the automap is added as an added convenience. The CSV Import really does not care what the column headers are named it only cares what they are mapped to.

    I hope that make sense! Good to hear you’ve got it imported and everything!
