I am using QGIS 2.2 and want to convert a shapefile containing point coordinates with userdefined svg-symbols to a KML file.
Everything seems to work. The original file is in WGS 84 / UTM zone 32N and I convert it to KML EPSG:4326. When I open the new KML file in Google Earth the position of the points is correct but as a symbol I get Google Earth-Pins.
Is it possible to include the svg-symbol and the label as well in the KML file?
It still is as simple as rightclick -> Save as, but make sure to set the CRS of the destination file to WGS84. It has nothing to do with the Project CRS, which can be anything else.
Apply below transformation method to project your data in ArcMap.
1)Open New Arcmap.
2)Add your Imagery files which you downloaded from Google earth.
3)Add your existing geodatabase layer files into arcmap (Ex:Layers or shapes)
4)Right click in the Arcmap window and select Dataframe Properties.
A New window will open and then select your Layer file (Google/Imagery file) and then click Transformations Now you need to choose correct datum in Convert from: location and then Into: location and you need to choose your datum(Co-ordinate system) in this case my Datum is Asia\Qatar 1974 and choose appropriate using: method and click Ok. and APPly.
Now check your map if it's aligned properly or not, if not and then come back to the same location open Dataframe properties this time you need select Projected Coordinate System and select National Grids choose your national grid and hit Apply Now your data should be aligned properly.

Shapefiles normally don't have styling in themselves. The styles you are talking about in QGIS are stored in the QGIS project files. Unfortunately there are no functional plugins to convert shapefile to kml along with the QGIS styles.
