I'm so tired of @flickr still not being able to deal with non ASCII characters during photo uploads! 😡

When I write this in Greek:

Περιφερειακή ενότητα Χανίων

Flickr extracts this from the image metadata:

Περιφερειακή ενότητα Χανίων

They can't even manage to deal with accented latin letters…

@nhoizey interestingly, i've successfully uploaded photos with unicode keywords correctly to flickr for ages. sometimes, it shows the garbage for a split second, before then correctly changing to utf-8 and displaying them correctly in the upload page. admittedly, not tried with greek

@nhoizey for instance, see the tags on this flickr.com/photos/redux/535682 ... didn't have to edit them after upload. could it be your jpgs somehow aren't encoding the keywords correctly?

@patrick_h_lauke also, this is not an issue with the browser, I tried with both Firefox and Chrome.
