Hi for all!  
How to use Ukrainian or Russian language with Airlink LS300 module?

Airlink’s documentation implies they support the UTF-8 character encoding needed for Ukrainian or Russian, but we weren’t able to make it work. I contacted Airlink’s tech support, and they told me that the modems do not, in fact, support UTF-8. ☹

I have heard from other customers that the [Twilio module](http://marketplace.inductiveautomation.com/moduledetail?5&moduleId=53) works well with non-English characters. Hopefully someone who has used it will chime in here.

Hi, Kathy!  
I found this topic  
[inductiveautomation.com/forum/v … ink#p45717](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=12563&p=45717&hilit=airlink#p45717)  
and in the last message Sergey\_D said that you need to change your script in module. Did you try this? Or, maybe, you can give for me the source code and i will test it by myself?

We’ve tried this, and many variations, and it doesn’t work.

I think, you should write about this problem in the sms notification module description in the marketplace.
