I hope the method you suggested, ie using MX 6.1,encoding text with unicode and using resouce bundles will work fine for my purpose.Could you pleae give some clear picture how to go about with resource bundles to implement on this develoment on the multilingual site.Also could you give me more information on the charecter encoding part.Right now we are planning to go about only with some European languages.Please do give more information on the above
