How to import Google contacts to Yahoo?

How can I import a CSV file of Hebrew contacts into Google Contacts?

  • I have a list of 4,000 (!) contacts in a mixture of English and Hebrew that I would like to import into Google Contacts without typing them in one at a time...While Google contacts supports Hebrew text in the application, it doesn't currently support the bulk importing of non-English text. Neither Yahoo nor Hotmail support importing Hebrew contacts either. The closest I have come so far is importing the unicode CSV file into Thunderbird and using IMAP syncing to get the contacts into Google. However this does not work for addresses, and some of the field mappings are incorrect. Looking for either a software package solution, or a Rube Goldberg-esque, convoluted approach!

  • Answer:

    Well I finally did it, and the process was embarrassingly simple: 1.Install Outlook 2010 (via Parallels for me) 2. Import CSV file into Outlook 3. Download the Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook tool (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration), and install 4. Run the tool on your Outlook profile. Done.
