G'day folks!
A query for those with some experience in using multiple languages in their sites:
In a site that is predominantly English, select pages have been translated into both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Each page contains a link where users are able to indicate their preferred language (hence receiving translated pages as appropriate). My issue is how to show this this link appropriately
Originally I had something similar to this:
<a href="#" lang="zh-Hans" title="éæåïåæéééåçèæéèïäåæ
åèééæäçääææç">çääæ</a> (don't know this will come out in email, but the contents of the anchor and its title attribute are Simplified Chinese)
However, this fails as on many computers it will appear as those horrible little blocks that indicate lack of the appropriate font
Next attempt was something like:
<a href="#"><img
src="#"
alt="Most pages will display in English, only translated pages display
in Simplified Chinese. éæ
åïåæéééåçèæéèïäåæåèééæäçääææç" title="When selected, most pages will be in
readable in English with only translated pages displaying in Simplified
Chinese. éæ
åïåæéééåçèæéèïäåæåèééæäçääææç"></a>
Except of course, that doesn't give any indication of language involved.
Suggestions, experiences, vague clues?
Cheers, Lachlan
