onifoni Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hello I have a website and I am going to have it translated to different languages. But when I for example; assume it's a middle eastern language and we all know the characters are different. When I put it on my website and reload all I see is "??????" how can I foreign language text? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TechFreak:) Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 You need to define unicode character set in your web page. You can do this by placing the following code inside <head> ... </head>: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 onifoni Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Cheers. I will give it a try. But I have a question - will that mess up the other characters (English) that I have on the page? Or will it just allow me to display foreign language characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TechFreak:) Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 No, English characters display correctly with every character set so you don't have to worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gocom Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Also, if you are defining the charset to UTF-8 to actually make sure that all the content (pages) is UTF-8 encoded. No multiple or different charsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
