Hi Jason We had a similar requirement last year. The cost of translating and preparing pages in other language html is very expensive. The job we did already had pdfs of a document in 14 different language but the client wanted to provide easy access to them and an accessible alternative.
We prepared an intemmediate page in the different language sets explaining the situation and giving them a phone number in case they couldn't access the pdfs. This page had a link to the pdf document. This didn't cost alot and it seems to work well. You can see what I am trying to describe here http://www.gt.nsw.gov.au/information/languages.cfm Hope this is helpful Roger -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jason Foss Sent: Wednesday, 20 October 2004 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Foreign Translations Greetings! I have a client who wants part of their website translated into a few other languages, some of them Asian (Chinese & Korean are a couple). I have obtained a couple of quotes from translation agencies to actually do the translations, but does anyone have experience with actually implementing this sort of thing in a website? The easy way is to make an image out of the translation and pop that there - but I don't want to do that for obvious reasons!!! I'm reading a bit about character sets and encoding, but it's all a bit abstract at this point. Any experiences or how-to references would be much appreciated!
