Displaying non-english text from web pages?
-
Hi. We've received some html pages that have been "translated " to Korean, Japanese and Chinese (two dialects). These pages (unfortunately created in Word!) do not diplay any of their characters properly. It is my understanding that all of these languages can be correctly displayed using standard Windows operating systems if: 1 - the page's charset attribute is properly set using the content-type meta tag. 2 - The browser is set up to download and install any required language packs automatically. I've heard that possibly Japanese characters need a Japanese OS?

Nope, I can see chinese text on the web, although I don't have chinese installed on my computer. So you 2 statements are totally right. When user comes to Japanese page for example, he will be prompted to download the Japanese characters and after that will be able to see the text with no problems Philip Patrick "Two beer or not two beer?"
