For JSP web server, when exporting a report to plain text on Strategy Web, the export engine in Intelligence server sends the data encoded in UTF-16 to web server. The web server will encode the plain text according to the locales.xml under Web_Server_Directory>WEB-INF>xml. It's only required to change the char-set value to desired charset in corresponding language to change the character set when exporting reports to plain text.
For example:
This is the original line for Japanese
Sql
<locale locale-id="1041" language="ja" country="JP" desc="Japanese" desc-id="mstrWeb.954" char-set="UTF-8" char-set-excel="UnicodeLittle" codepage="65001" codepage-excel="932" char-set-help="UTF-8" />
<locale locale-id="1041" language="ja" country="JP" desc="Japanese" desc-id="mstrWeb.954" char-set="Shift-JIS" char-set-excel="UnicodeLittle" codepage="65001" codepage-excel="932" char-set-help="UTF-8" />
