French Encoding

[Vinoth]

Hi,

Our Website is french website. When we search in google for our
site its showing the title name with some characters like -- droit
propriété industrielle, protection propriétà ... But in our
default.aspx page we given title as droit propriété industrielle,
protection propriété intellectuelle. we have added french encoding
meta tag like below.

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="language" content="France, French">

But its still not showing exactly what we given in title for
Default.aspx. I have tried this also <meta
http-equiv="content-language" content="FR"> instead of <meta
name="language" content="France, French">. But still its not showing.
What could be the problem. Is i have to add anything extra to get
exact frech characters. If i got solution for this problem then
immediately it will come in Google site or it will take some time.
Thanks,
Vinoth

I can't speak to all of the issues involved but to note that é should appear
as IE does render it when used in the <title> element and other browsers
should to. You may have other declarations incorrect.

Looks like the encoding is utf-8, not iso-8859-1, so try
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
