Group A use Jira 3.10.2 ,the language is Chinese Traditional,the database use PostgreSql 8.2

I export xml from Jira 3.10.2, named xz.xml

Then I build a Testing environment , I install Jira 3.10.2 ,the language is English ,the database use PostgreSql 8.2. I import xz.xml into Jira 3.10.2 of the Testing environment.

Before I import xml to jira 3.10.2 of the Testing environment,I don't create any project

Hi Andrew,

In order to no have any problem with non-latin characters, make sure that your application is configured to use UTF-8 as in this page and your database is configured according this documentation.

I hope it helps.
