Thanks for hat clarification about the support in EWebEditPro. Oh, and as for "internationalization" vs "localization", I know that may seem like another example of American jingo-ism. :-) But really it's more just that in the java world (where I've been spending a lot of time on J2EE stuff lately), they refer to the former more than the latter. But I realize that both Windows and ColdFusion use the latter term. It was just a slip. Heck, some would want to spell it "localisation", right? :-)

You can use the WYSIWYG editor to visually edit content or you can use the HTML edit mode to edit the code. It handles localization fairly well, we are currently using it for French and Spanish content management. Be forewarned there are issues that can arise with this and will require consultation with the Ektron knowledge-base to solve. For example, if people mess with the character encoding settings of their browser it can really screw up the editor. You can also control the options of the editor fairly well. You can define font sets and sizes available, and you can disable most of the features you don't want people to have access to. For example, we often turn off the ability to use the HTML edit mode.
