Hi,
I am trying to show five different languages in my website. I am not using any other tool to achieve this task. Basically, I have stored the all language values in a language file. While in my pages, I include the language page and call the language varriables. I manage the languge value like english, spanish etc in my session varriable.
My problem is: There are some spcial characters in languages like italian, german for example : č,á ,ó ,Nş ,ń etc and these are not shown properly in my browser. It shows like a sqare box which makes the complete sentense not readable and looks ugly. I think we need to install some kind of package in the client browser in order to show these special characters!! but honestly speaking, I have no idea how to solve it.
Any help in this regard is higly appritiated !!
Thank you
Santosh

This is infact a HTML problem.
I believe the problem is the unicode settings of the page?
Because the letters worked on this page, I sneakily lifted the setting Bytes.com uses.
Stick this in your <head> -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
-
See if that helps.

This is a charset problem. If you are using special characters, you may want to use the Unicode charsets. Like UTF-8.
(I would recommend always using that one... the ISO charsets are getting a little out of date.)
To steal Markus' line: -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

thanks for the code... this worked perfectly !!
