i guess the first thing you should do is find out what 'chinese' *they* mean by 'chinese'. - for encoding: "just use unicode" - for the strings: use resource bundles, it's the way it's done in java since forever so there's a whole environment to manage these. there was a question on the list regarding this recently. - don't forget date, etc. formatting also needs to be handled. - do they want to use the gregorian calendar or a chinese one? read these: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/globalize.html http://www.sustainablegis.com/blog/cfg11n/index.cfm?mode=cat&catid=6D990B76-50FC-543B-1FA4AB2B1CE26EFC the g11n chapter in ben's cf books. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310071 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
