Hi,
http://www.emw8.com/
Is a new design and web-dev business/website I am making that
specialises in multi-lingual and localised content.
I'm based in China so I want to make my site fully translated (by
people not machines) in English and Chinese. I'm getting on top of
that bit, but when doing browser tests in China I ran into some
nasties. Old computers, old browsers, weird browsers - you name it,
they've got it! Statistics here are: IE (50%), Maxthon (20%), and 360
(20%). Mozilla, sogo, chrome all have tiny shares. It's not as simple
as just telling them to update. Many browsers are used because some
online banking and e-commerce only support these browsers.
Needless to say most template builders stopped supporting IE6 a couple
of years ago so my site breaks big time in IE6 and some of these
Chinese browsers (IE modifications). My solution was to add a script
redirecting IE6 users to a page with a different, IE6 supported,
template. It's good because users see something, articles can be
reused, and it's all housed in one CMS.
So my question is really, how do you guys get on with it?
I know there is an issue with the language selection box but I am
working on that. There isn't anything in the 'test' box. Everything
else should be working fine.
If you load the page and end up on http://www.emw8.com/index.php/en/
ie6 it should be because you are using IE6. Let me know if that's not
the case.
The language detection works, not by Geo IP, but what language your
browser is in. If there's any Chinese using this list then I'd be
interested to know if that works.
My recent tests have been really good.
It's very much in development, but I just want to check browser
stability, and the redirecting function.
Merry Christmas!
BR, CB
