Sorry for the Off Topic questions... I have a client asking about having some pages or parts of pages in Chinese... either simple or possibly Mandarin. I am trying to find info on this, but it seems a bit confusing, though it seems it might be an easy thing to do. But I have questions for any who may have gone through this.
I understand that I need to declare the charset to UTF-8 to display the characters. Do I actually need to install a language pack on the server to display? Right now I have no language packs installed on any machines so when I get Chinese text it displays as a series of boxes. Can I change the charset to UTF-8 and just cut and paste the boxes? Will that display correctly? I think I can display both English and Chinese on the same page, is this correct? I will more then likeyy be adding this text via email into the Witango editor, is there a problem with this? I take it that using MS SQL for data would be a bit more complicated? Is this as easy as it seems to be? Is there a simple step by step doc/webpage/place I could go for more information? Sorry for all the questions, but I would like to respond to the client with at least a very base knowledge of how this will work without getting egg on my face. Right now they have supplied me with artwork of some very base translations for some of the headers on certain pages and I think they are wondering if we could take the next step and actually use the language. ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [email protected] with "unsubscribe witango-talk" in the body.
