My advice: DO NOT use different character sets. Stick with Unicode (UTF-8).
My games in Flash are in French, English and Chinese. Flash handles Unicode
natively so I have the different translations in one single file (they are
small games so it doesn't take much space). Our database handles Unicode so
it communicates with Flash seamlessly. I also tested with Japanese and Arab.
It seems ok although my knowledge in these 2 languages doesn't allow me to
check thoroughly.

I've been approached to put together a site which will ultimately have 10
language variations (some of which dont use the latin alphabet).
Were thinking XML driven content for a start, but what are the major pitfals
to look out for when putting a multilanguage site togehter. I've done some
top level research and figure theres goingto be issues with character sets
etc.
Does anyone have any links to good resources or advice to give ?
Thanks in advance
Daniel
