If you want to allow Hebrew content then all you need to do is to set the codepage of the HTML pages to ISO-8859-8-i (or windows-1255, or, better still: UTF-8, to allow other languages besides hebrew and english). If you want to provide a hebrew user interface then you need to change three things: 1. The codepage of every HTML page 2. add a dir="rtl" attribute to the <html> tag of eevry page 3. Translate all the text strings Systems which have already started to become translated to other languages already have (3) and probably (1). As for (2): You'll probably have to add it on your own. Also: php-nuke is nice, but has a poor record on security issues (For instance: its installation instractions instruct you to change the permissions on all the installtion directories to 777(!)) I don't know if post-nuke is better. Also have a look at ezpublish (although this system has some strange requirements). > > zope uses an internal database of its own, to store its so-called > 'objects'. however, as i understood, you can inegrate an sql server > somehow somewhere there.

Python is used for the core. In recent versions you can also use perl and some other languages to write components (Check zope's site if you want more accurate information) -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
