Description

The option to download the csv file doesn't work well in Windows 10 with the default browsers.

## Current Behavior

The option to download the csv file is working fine in Debian 9 but when i test the same function on Windows 10 the downloaded file doesn't recognize special characters (accent marks) and also when i do it in Microsoft Edge the file is downloaded without an extension.

So, i have some questions about this functionality.

1. How can i modify the encoding of the csv file with an existent option -included in the package- in order to see the special characters in Windows?
I tried escaping the special characters but it didn't make any difference.

2. The download functionality is compatible with the default browsers of Windows?
