Translation Error: A file error has occurred in the Comma Separated Values translator while initializing a translator to build a field map. Outlook was unable to retrieve the data from the file "E:\Downloads\WLMContacts.csv". Verify that you have the correct file, that you have permission to open it, and that it is not open in another program. This is the result of the exported file's Unicode encoding. When the CSV is opened in Excel, all of the comma-separated fields are shown in one cell, not one cell per field. Excel can’t detect the field separators and neither can Outlook. Note: If you have opened the file in Excel to look at it, close it without saving. Solution:
