This ensures that any attribute information that uses characters from multi-byte character sets (such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean) is downloaded correctly to the iProcess Engine.
If you subsequently need to reconfigure the iProcess Engine not to translate downloaded attribute values from UTF-8, you can do so by selecting the same option from the LDAPCONF menu:

 
[10] Disable Attribute Value Translation

 
The LDAPCONF menu is re-displayed.
